Media Ownership Rules

Media ownership rules are regulations designed to prevent any single entity from controlling too much of the media in a specific market. The goal is to ensure a diverse range of voices, viewpoints, and information sources. These rules limit how many radio stations, television channels, or newspapers one company can own in a particular area. By promoting competition and diversity in media ownership, these regulations aim to protect democracy and keep the public informed with varied perspectives rather than allowing a few companies to dominate the information landscape.
