Taming media monsters

Article Abstract:

Media companies tend to have protection from imports from abroad, which may involve quotas for TV programming and prohibitions on media companies being owned by foreigners. There are also regulations affecting ownership of TV companies by newspapers, and vice-versa. Some regulations are out-dated and counter-productive. Single firms are less able to dominate news production, and there is strong demand for local content, while production costs have dropped, so more companies can compete in the media industry. This means that there is less need for regulation.
