The New America Foundation, along with the USC Annenberg Center on Communication Leadership and Policy hosted an event on the state and importance of media ownership policy today. I would suggest everyone take the time to watch this event online. (You can also watch the event here.)
The term paper (worth 35% of your final grade) asks each student to write a policy brief to the FCC recommending a specific reform to the existing media ownership statutes. This event us loaded with ideas, and should help each of you in conceptualizing how you will approach this assignment. I recommend folks watch the event, thinking about one question in particular: "why does media ownership policy matter to me?"
