New Media Rules Have Wall Street Talking

from the where-are-the-mergers? dept

For all the hype about last week's FCC rulings on media ownership, there was lots of talk about how media would start consolidating into a few huge conglomerates. Now, in the aftermath, as analyst are looking around, they're realizing that mass media is already run by a few huge conglomerates, and these rules aren't likely to change very much. As they point out, the big consolidation already took place without these rules. Mostly, the impact of these rules seems like to be a bunch of smaller deals to clean up around the edges.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team
