Poynter Online will publish an exclusive report from the event and comprehensive links to media coverage. Bookmark this page on Thursday, Jan. 16
FCC Chairman Michael K. Powell, who is scheduled to attend, created the Media Ownership Working Group (MOWG) and charged it with developing a solid foundation for re-evaluating FCC media ownership policies. See below for today’s stories about Powell saying that reports of wholesale rule changes are “melodramatic.”
The policies under review are:
• Broadcast-Newspaper Cross-Ownership Rule
• Local Radio Ownership Rule
• Television-Radio Cross-Ownership Rule
• Dual Network Rule
• Local Television Ownership Rule
• National Television Ownership Rule
