Musicians Protest Media Monopoly
A three-week, 13-city tour, “Tell Us The Truth,” aimed at educating the public on the perils of media consolidation, concluded last month. Participants of the tour included musicians such as Billy Bragg, Steve Earl, and Tom Morello; M.C. Janeane Garofalo; and two commissioners from the FCC. One of the targets of the tour’s protests was ClearChannel, which has grown from 40 stations to 1200 in the last seven years. Radio consolidation negatively effects diversity of programming and political discourse, said tour participants.
