In 1975, the Federal Communications Commission initiated the newspaper-broadcast cross-ownership rule, which barred a single company from owning a newspaper and a broadcast station in the same market. With intense pressure from media conglomerates, the FCC is now considering a revision or elimination of the cross-ownership ban. EPI’s study, The FCC’s Newspaper-Broadcast Cross-Ownership Rule, explains how the telecommunications marketplace has become even more concentrated in the last 25 years, making the FCC rule more important than ever for encouraging a diversity of voices and hence a more vibrant democracy.
