Stop the Big Media Takeover

Almost
all private Canadian television stations are owned by national media
conglomerates and, because of increasing cross-ownership, most of the
daily newspapers we read are owned by the same corporations that own
television and radio stations.

This means a handful of Big Media
Conglomerates control what Canadians can most readily see, hear and
read. It means less local and regional content, more direct control
over content by owners and less analysis of the events that shape our
lives. It also means less media choice for Canadians and fewer jobs for
Canadian media workers.

We must also be wary of the impacts
mergers have on the diversity and neutrality of new on-line media. We
need to reverse this trend before big media gets even bigger!
