This is meant to reverse the trend of media consolidation by prohibiting individuals and corporations from having controlling interest in more than one (1) TV station, radio station, newspaper, magazine or any other news medium within a city or metropolitan area. This is designed to increase diversification in media ownership, giving more independent local ownership, and stopping consolidation.
Why is this important?
This petition is about reversing the media consolidation by implementing limitations on the number of TV, radio, and print news mediums a person or corporation can control in a local media market.
