Barack Obama: The FCC should care about minorities

Cross-posted at the Brave New Films Blog.

Barack Obama thinks that consolidation in media ownership is a bad thing, and he let the FCC know that today.

Minority owned and operated newspapers and radio stations play a critical role in the African American and Latino communities and bring minority issues to the forefront of our national discussion.

I am glad to see Obama be explicit here about the impact of media consolidation on minority communities. It is clear that the interests of minorities are not a particularly high priority in this administration, I hope that everyone's interests matter to the next President.

One Love. One II.
