Lokaljournalismus und Medienkonsolidierung

Our 21st-century democracy needs a representative, open, and independent media—not a few mega-conglomerates controlled by the wealthy few. Not only does the media keep us informed, but it also is often helpful in framing important issues like healthcare, the economy, immigration, and more.

That is why it is key to include a representative array of voices in the conversation. When traditional media and social media platforms are owned by a small number of corporations, it narrows the available perspective and stifles the news and information  that our democracy depends on. Common Cause is committed to putting the brakes on dangerous media consolidation, as well as advocating for local and public journalism protections that put everyday people first.
