Map Your Local Media Moguls
Drew Clark of the Center for Public Integrity is now talking about their media tracker tool. Put in your zip code and it'll generate a map of your local media outlets and who owns them. I did a search for Washington DC. Along with the map, it gave me some interesting stats about the DC area:
- 26 licensed television stations
- 47 licensed radio stations
- 1 matching cable community
- 17 reported broadband providers
- 30 newspapers within 100 miles
And the companies with the biggest piece of the local broadcast pie:
- Clear Channel Communications Inc. : nine stations
- CBS Corporation: eight
- Radio One, Inc: four
- Bonneville Radio (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints): four
- Maryland Public Broadcasting Commission: three
Try it yourself and get informed. -andy
