FCC MEETING ADDRESSES MEDIA, DIVERSITY
[SOURCE: The Repository (Canton, Ohio), AUTHOR: Paul Kostyu paul.kostyu@cantonrep.com]
Three of the five commissioners of the Federal Communications Commission heard this message over and over: Ohio's minority population is not being well-served by policies that allow consolidation of media. And two of the commissioners, Jonathan S. Adelstein and Michael J. Copps, agreed. They and fellow commissioner Robert M. McDowell attended a Columbus town meeting Wednesday night on the "Future of Media." Copps said the most important issue in America today is media ownership, because all other issues, such as education, health care, employment and the Iraq war, "filter through the funnel of the big media."
