Washington, DC – Tomorrow, Congressman Becerra will discuss the important role Congress will play in ensuring the FCC meets its responsibilities.
As the Federal Communications Commission revisits its media ownership rules, it must consider the impact of media consolidation on the opportunities for democratic deliberation of all Americans.
