Whose Free Press? Media Consolidation and Democracy
April 5, 2000
Listen/download helpFewer than ten media corporations now control, through ownership, most of the news and information we get in the United States. That number continues to shrink as these conglomerates cut mega-merger deals. On this program we take a look at the influence of money and corporate priorities on a basic democratic principle: freedom of the press.
Featuring:
Janine Jackson, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR); Norman Solomon, Institute for Public Accuracy.
