Has Media Concentration Gone Too Far?
29/06/2007
Jon Rintels is the executive director and the founder of the Center for Creative Voices in Media, a group that advocates against media consolidation and censorship. Rintels is a former attorney and award-winning screenwriter who says media conglomeration of the last several years is having a negative impact on those who write for television and film.
âAll of this is based on our strong belief in free speech and free expression,â says Rintels. âOverregulation of the airwaves to protect children from so-called indecent content has backfired.â
On the October 20, 2006 edition of WINAâs CharlottesvilleâRight Now, he told host Coy Barefoot that local news suffers when corporations buy up several radio stations in a community. Rintels also commended WINA for its commitment to local news after Rob Graham broke in with a news report live from the scene.
