What’s lacking is media sources independent of those five. Where does NPR/PRI/PBS fit into the scheme of things? Locally owned radio stations? Religious broadcasters? Do these non-ViaClearNewsDisneyAOL sources account for 5% or 50% of available media sources?

I ask partly because I�m a geographer and cartographer and think of everything in spatial terms (I look at this picture and wonder where the names are located that it lists) and partly because I feel that creating a tool for visualizing this process of transformation, a process that is about to take on a whole new form, would be incredibly useful in understanding the effects of this regulatory shift.

I can see the visualization of this information, but I simply don�t know anything about the availability of data on the geography or spatial extent of print and broadcast media.

If anyone has any thoughts on this I�d love to discuss it further. email me at info@*NOSPAM*jump9.com.

Concentration is already far too high and they want more. And these people want us to believe they don’t tamper with information/truth/reality?

Sigh.
