Been wondering which American industry is next to be consumed by our ravenous federal government? You may find the answer in a report released this month suggesting that the news media can only survive if it is a public media.
This suggestion is contained in a paper titled “New Public Media: A Plan for Action,” in which the authors say: “Take a close look at the American journalism landscape in 2010, and the scene is grim. Ad revenue is down; job cuts are up; and new business models have yet to prove sustainable. In recent decades, media consolidation, poor business decisions and the drive for ever higher profit margins have pushed many traditional news outlets to the brink — even before the recession and the collapse of traditional advertising. Today, we have a news industry in steep decline, with no sign of a long-term recovery.”
Are there Unions involved in these oil companies.??
Unnecessary! They already ‘own’ the majority of the media.
I know. Can PRAVDA be any worse than it is?
What is to take over, most media outlets already work for and report to the regime.
You mean the left is now just going to OFFICIALLY own the media!
