Market Definition, Merger Review, And Media Monopolization: Congressional Approval Of The Corporate Voice Through The Newspaper Preservation Act, Amy Sanders

Amy Kristin Sanders

In this Article, the Author examines the Newspaper Preservation Act, a federal antitrust exemption for newspapers, in light of the changing landscape of media ownership. After doing so, she argues that federal merger review for media companies should be revised to include a broader definition of 'geographic market' and a more restrictive definition of 'failing firm' to discourage the corporatization of the media.
