Increased Transparency in Media Employment and Ownership Data
This new law aims to enhance transparency in the media industry by requiring broadcasters and multichannel video programming distributors to collect and report employment data, and to create a public database of television station owners. This will give citizens better insight into who works in and owns media, potentially helping to assess diversity and inclusion within the industry.
Key points
