- 09-03-03 Court Blocks Media Dominance Rules (USAToday.com)
"A federal appeals court on Wednesday issued an emergency stay delaying new Federal Communications Commission media ownership rules that would allow a single company to own newspapers and broadcast outlets in the same city."
"In a loss for the Republican-led FCC, the three-judge panel of the Third U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia granted a stay that prevents the new rules from taking effect as scheduled on Thursday."
"Critics argued that the FCC rules would concentrate too much power in the hands of large media companies." 7-03
