KEEP MEDIA OWNERSHIP RULE–The AFL-CIO Department for Professional
Employees has joined with consumer advocates and civil rights groups to
support retaining the Federal Communications Commission rule barring
extensive cross-ownership of newspapers and television stations in the same
market. The FCC is considering weakening the rule, which was designed to
provide a diversity of opinions in news media. Changing the rule would
accelerate the pace of media mergers and replace journalistic competition
with profit margins, DPE President Paul Almeida said.
