Who is responsible for ensuring that our nation’s media system is diverse and inclusive?
A. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is the government agency that is directly charged with regulating interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite and cable. Specifically, the FCC determines reviews policies related to media ownership, including how many stations one company can own in each market. But, especially in recent years, it has frequently failed to protect America’s diverse voices. It is up to us to make the FCC do its job and better monitor and adjust current policy standards and impending changes to reflect the broad communities that it serves.
