The "MEDIA Diversity Act" Passes the House
Statement
Issues: Technology and Communication
Today, the House of Representatives passed my bill, H.R. 5567, the "Measuring the Economics Driving Investments and Access for Diversity Act of 2020" or the "MEDIA Diversity Act of 2020." The MEDIA Diversity Act would require the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to consider, with the input of its Office of Communications Business Opportunities of the Commission, market entry barriers for socially disadvantaged individuals in the communications marketplace.
"Promoting an accurate and diverse communications marketplace is essential," said Rep. Long. "Our media laws should reflect the great diversity of our nation."
