FCC
Drop a note to the FCC asking to stop the consolidation of media outlets.
On June 2, the Federal Communications Commission lifted restrictions on media ownership that allowed big media companies to get much bigger. Since then, hundreds of thousands of Americans have contacted Congress to oppose media monopoly. But big media lobbyists are also hard at work -- they know that if the FCC's new rules stand, it could mean that the conglomerates they work for will gain greater control our access to news and entertainment. We need to fight back. That's why we're telling Congress:"Congress should roll back the entire FCC rule change and work to make the media diverse, competitive, balanced, and fair."
