Media policy is going under the microscope at the Federal Communications Commission, which Wednesday (Oct. 28) named Internet entrepreneur and journalist Steven Waldman to “assess the state of the media.”
As senior advisor to the chairman in the FCC’s office of strategic planning, Waldman will lead an open, fact-finding process to study the impact of technology and a weakened economy on the future of media, and make policy recommendations.
The appointment comes just as the FCC is beginning the process of reviewing the quadrennial media-ownership rules.
“A strong consensus has developed that we’re at a pivotal moment in the history of the media and communications, because of game-changing new technologies as well as the economic downturn,” said Julius Genachowski, FCC chairman.
