In light of the NBC - Comcast merger and the subsequent ending of Keith Olbermann's show on MSNBC, here are a few resources on media consolidation in the USA:
- The FreePress.net interactive chart of the Big Six media firms: GE (though soon to replaced by Comcast after the purchase of NBC) / Disney / News Corp (Fox) / TimeWarner / Viacom / CBS.
- StopBigMedia.com, the activism site of FreePress.net.
- The Media Reform Research Center website, with lots of links to media reform groups.
- Columns by Nate Silver and by John Nicols and Robert McChesney on the NBC - Comcast merger.
- The Fairness and Accuracy in Media (FAIR) blog.
- Brian Leiter implicitly links the Glenn Beck attacks on Frances Fox Piven to the issue of academic freedom. AaronBa at Daily Kos excerpts a CUNY faculty union resolution in support of Piven.
