  • When Victims Rule
    1 24 JEWISH INFLUENCE IN THE MASS MEDIA, Part II In 1985 Laurence Tisch, Chairman of the Board of New York University, former President of the Greater New York United Jewish Appeal, an active supporter of Israel, and a man of many other roles, started buying stock in the CBStelevision network through his company, the Loews Corporation. The Tisch family, worth an estimated 4 billion dollars, has major interests in hotels, an insurance company, Bulova, movie theatres, and Loliards, the nation's fourth largest tobacco company (Kent, Newport, True cigarettes). Brother Andrew Tisch has served as a Vice-President for the UJA-Federation, and as a member of the United Jewish Appeal national youth leadership cabinet, the American Jewish Committee, and the American Israel Political Action Committee, among other Jewish organizations. By September of 1986 Tisch's company owned 25% of the stock of CBS and he became the company's president. And Tisch -- now the most powerful man at CBS -- had strong feelings about television, Jews, and Israel. The CBS news department began to live in fear of being compromised by their boss -- overtly, or, more likely, by intimidation towards self-censorship -- concerning these issues. "There have been rumors in New York for years," says J. J. Goldberg, "that Tisch took over CBS in 1986 at least partly out of a desire to do something about media bias against Israel." [GOLDBERG, p. 297] The powerful President of a major American television network dare not publicize his own active bias in favor of another country, of course. That would look bad, going against the grain of the democratic traditions, free speech, and a presumed "fair" mass media.

  • 2001 Annual Report
    To Our Stockholders: We invite you to read fully Radio One, Inc.’s 2001 annual report, included herein, in order to understand better how management of your company has positioned Radio One in the media industry and how your company and your management team have performed. 2001 was one of the most difficult years ever experienced in the radio industry. Overall, industry revenue was down approximately 7% and the industry experienced 13 straight months of negative year-over-year results, from December 2000 through December 2001. Just as we thought the environment was starting to improve in late-summer of last year, the tragic events of September 11 dealt a terrible blow to the nation and had negative business ramifications that left no company untouched. We responded to this attack on our country through our comprehensive reporting of the events in the days that followed and a coordinated massive effort across all of our radio stations to raise money, as well as donations of clothing and other supplies to help the rescue and recovery efforts in Washington, DC and New York City. September 11 cast a pall over the United States for much of the fourth quarter, but through our efforts, and those of our employees—we tried to help in many ways, some big, some small—we hope we made some peoples’ lives just a little brighter. Through the downturn in the economy and the events of September 11, Radio One was one of the very few radio companies to actually show an increase in its same station revenue and broadcast cash flow (BCF).

  • Free Press Written Testimony
    Written Testimony of Matthew F. Wood Policy Director Free Press and the Free Press Action Fund before the Congress of the United States House of Representatives Committee on Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Communications and Technology regarding “Reauthorization of the Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act” March 12, 2014 Free Press/Free Press Action Fund Testimony – March 12, 2014 House Committee on Energy and Commerce – Subcommittee on Communications and Technology SUMMARY Section 4 of the Discussion Draft for Reauthorization of the Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act would prohibit the Federal Communications Commission from preventing serious and ongoing violations of its local television multiple ownership rule. These violations harm competing businesses and diminish the number of competing viewpoints on our nation’s airwaves. They cause job losses, as broadcasters outsource the news and consolidate newsrooms. And they diminish the number of competing local newscasts, because stations subject to outsourcing agreements and de facto control by another broadcaster simply do not gather or air their own news. The FCC moved on Thursday, March 6th, to begin addressing these rule violations, and the harms that media concentration cause. The current wave of consolidation has been fueled by outsourcing agreements that violate the letter and the spirit of the FCC’s rules. No one other than the FCC treats so-called “sidecar” companies of large broadcasters as separate entities from the controlling stations. In fact, the Securities and Exchange Commission treats these shell companies as what they are: subsidiaries and assets of the operating broadcaster. The agency in charge of making sure investors know the truth doesn’t allow companies to play these shell games, and neither should the FCC.

  • Cease to Resist: How the FCC’S Failure to Enforce Its Rules Created a New Wave of Media Consolidation
    Cease to Resist: How the FCC’s Failure to Enforce Its Rules Created a New Wave of Media Consolidation S. Derek Turner Free Press October 2013 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The U.S. broadcast television industry is in the midst of a wave of consolidation, which one longtime industry insider described as “the biggest wave ... in the history of television.”1 This wave is leaving in its wake shuttered newsrooms and jobless journalists in communities all across the country. And there is likely much more of this to come. Local broadcast journalism is already suffering from two decades of rampant media consolidation. Absentee corporate owners, concerned only with profit maximization, long ago pushed out most station owners with ties to their communities. Prioritizing profit above public service, these corporations replaced political reporters with political ads. Cross-promotions for American Idol displaced important news stories. Cheap-to-produce traffic, weather and sports updates now comprise nearly half of all local news programming. And in many communities, the same company owns multiple media outlets: Changing the channel brings the same content from the same newsroom, packaged with slightly altered graphics. The Federal Communications Commission — the agency tasked with ensuring the public airwaves serve the public interest — has been a willing accomplice to this destruction of local journalism. Indeed, as this report demonstrates, FCC policies are a major factor driving the latest wave of consolidation. Even as the agency fought in court to maintain its ownership limits, it signaled to the market that it had no intention of even examining covert- consolidation agreements, much less calling them out as blatant violations of the agency’s rules.
