Ofcom opposed to media ownership limits
June 19, 2012
Ofcom will not recommend setting absolute limits on newspaper or media ownership. But the UK broadcasting regulator will say that it should conduct regular reviews of plurality every four or five years which could include an assessment of whether individual organizations have too great a share of news. Ofcom said that defining what constituted sufficient plurality, that is the diversity of voices delivering news and current affairs, would be a matter either for parliament to decide itself or to delegate to an “appropriate body.”
