Oregon Media Insiders

It's all over the news today, and to be honest, this inexperienced pundit still doesn't know if it promises good ... or rather less bad. But it looks to me like some sanity might have taken root on Capitol HIll.

In 2007, the FCC (despite overwhelming public comment to the contrary) voted to allow media companies to own both a major TV or radio station and a major newspaper in the same city. This could be seen to encourage further consolidation of a media industry many seem to see as too consolidated as it is.
