MEDIA BUREAU ANNOUNCES MEDIA OWNERSHIP WORKSHOP IN TAMPA, FL
(MB DOCKET NO. 09-182)
Washington, D.C.:  The Media Bureau today announced it will hold its next media ownership 
workshop on April 20, 2010, at the Marshall Student Center, University of South Florida, 4202 E 
Fowler Avenue, Tampa, Florida.  Scheduled from 3:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., the workshop will 
explore any benefits and harms of newspaper/broadcast cross-ownership and the impact these 
combinations have on competition and diversity in the media marketplace.
The one-panel forum will discuss, among other issues:
· How newspaper/broadcast cross-ownership affects competition in the local 
media marketplace;
· To what extent, if any, cross-ownership affects the production of news and public 
affairs content; and
· Whether cross-owned combinations impact the quantity, quality, diversity, and 
responsiveness of local news and public affairs programming and if so, how.
Panelists will include representatives from organizations with newspaper-television and 
newspaper-radio combinations, and media advocacy groups.  Public participation in the 
workshop is encouraged.  
Open captioning of the forum will be provided.  Other reasonable accommodations for people 
with disabilities are available upon request.  Include a description of the accommodation you will 
need.  Also include a way we can contact you if we need more information. Last-minute 
requests will be accepted, but may not be possible to fill.  Send an e-mail to fcc504@fcc.gov or 
call the Consumer & Governmental Affairs Bureau at 202-418-0530 (voice), 202-418-0432 (tty).
