A CLEAR, BUBBLING PASSION FOR WATCHDOG JOURNALISM
[SOURCE: Seattle Times, AUTHOR: Editorial Staff]
[Commentary] Big corporations have been mistrusted since the heyday of steel and rails. The wariness of large companies continued through the oil and telephone industries. Media companies are the modern-day standard. The National Conference for Media Reform has become the place to channel efforts to break the media giants down to a human scale. Hopefully, the Free Press will be able to build off such momentum. It will be needed as the Federal Communications Commission considers whether to loosen ownership restrictions on the press and Congress weighs a much-needed network-neutrality law.
