From the Feminist Weekly News:
Media consolidation cuts out women and minority television broadcast stations owners, according to a report released on Wednesday by Free Press, a nonpartisan media reform organization. The report, Out of the Picture: Minority & Female Ownership in the United States analyzed the demographics of television broadcast station owners and found that women and people of color are vastly underrepresented in station ownership. Women own fewer than 5 percent of all broadcast stations but constitute 51 percent of the US population. Minorities own just over 3 percent of all stations but constitute 33 percent of the US population.
