Here in this country, a coalition of consumer, civil rights, labor and media reform groups are launching a new campaign today. The groups oppose rule changes that would allow large media corporations to control more TV channels, radio stations and newspapers in communities across the country. The groups are launching a new website today called StopBigMedia.com. The campaign comes as the Federal Communications Commission is preparing to start a new rulemaking process this week that could result in the overhaul of the nation’s media ownership rules. The advocacy groups maintain the relaxation of the rules would lead to more corporate consolidation, less competition, and fewer local voices in the media.
