Will The FCC and Capitol Hill Change The Media?

0

There are a lot of legal and regulatory matters on the table as 2022 comes into focus.

Starting with fresh leadership at the FCC and a full complement of commissioners. How will this newly defined regulatory body handle the Supreme Court’s unanimous decision regarding its rewrite of the media cross-ownership rules?

And over on Capitol Hill, can a new version of the minority tax certificate get enough support from the House and Senate to revive this once-popular program?

Meanwhile, what’s the status of the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act of 2021? Along with the request of Congress that the Copyright Office look into the rights and protections of news publishers under copyright and related laws? The initiatives, prompted by the impact of digital media on traditional publishers of content — such as radio and television and particularly their news content.

These and other complex challenges and opportunities facing broadcasters over the coming year will be examined when Frank Montero, co-managing partner at Fletcher, Heald, and Hildreth, takes the stage at Forecast 2022.
