Media Concentration and the hopeless state of ACMA

In Taming the Watchdogs of Media Concentration, Sean Condon discusses the further concentration of the Media in Australia, Canada and the U.S. over recent years. Condon shows how these attacks on the media have shown the hopeless state of the media regulation authorities (ACMA- Australian Communication and Media Authority- in Australia). A state of affairs which limits the ability of the public to recieve diversity of opinion.
