Time for Change

摘要

IN 1975, the Federal Communications Commission - during my tenure as chairman - adopted rules that prohibited the common ownership of a daily print newspaper and a full-power broadcast station (radio or television) in the same market. It did so at a time when newspapers played a dominant role in this nation's media landscape. And the agency's regulations were largely based on concerns about that perceived dominance and the effect that it might have on viewpoint diversity.
