[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
The Benton Foundation and the Social Science Research Council will release four media ownership studies Monday concerning radio, minority and women-owned media, minority news consumption, and TV/newspaper cross-ownership's impact on public affairs. Gloria Tristani, former FCC commissioner with the Benton Foundation, says the goal is not to inundate the commission, but to "help inform policymakers with good data."
