NELSON TO FCC'S MARTIN: DIVERSITY NOW
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL) recently wrote to FCC Chairman Kevin Martin recently asking the Chairman not to begin rewriting media ownership rules until the FCC first takes a look at minority, women and small-business-ownership issues. Sen Nelson was responding, in part, to another letter sent to Chairman Martin by Julie Johnson, chairperson of the FCC's Advisory Committee on Diversity in the Digital Age. She provided a copy of a number of recommendations already submitted by the committee on topics including diversity credits, ownership incentives, and transparency in transactions.
