HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE POSTPONES MEDIA-OWNERSHIP AND DIVERSITY HEARING
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
The House Judiciary Committee postponed today's planned hearing on media ownership and diversity. The committee gave no reason, although a staffer said it could be rescheduled for as early as next week or, more likely, sometime in early January. If Federal Communications Commission Chairman Kevin Martin has his way, by early January, the FCC will be done with the media-ownership review, having voted to loosen the newspaper-broadcast cross-ownership rules and adopted a host of items he said will help minority and women broadcasters.
