Cross-media ownership laws

Cross-media ownership laws regulate the concentration of media companies to promote diversity and fair competition. They limit the ability of a single entity to own multiple types of media outlets—such as newspapers, radio, and television—to prevent monopolies, reduce bias, and ensure a plurality of viewpoints. These rules aim to maintain a healthy media landscape where consumers have access to diverse information sources and no single corporation can dominate the flow of news and entertainment across different platforms.
