So obviously, media ownership in the United States is only getting smaller in terms of numbers, and only larger in terms of spread. Historically, American governments worked somewhat to constrain mergers between different industries, including theater chains and film companies. But how do we ensure that there is as strong as possible an ownership division of films companies and theaters, television companies and stations? Are there any historical laws or motions that could effect that, efforts from the Anti-Communism period to cause butterflies, economic downturns that dramatically break up Hollywood?
Any ideas?
