Stop The Big Media Takeover

Increasingly, with the concentration of power in the hands of a few, our Canadian media is losing its diversity, regional/local relevance and editorial freedom. Recently, CTV had only just announced it was taking over City TV and the next day they had torn down any reference to CITY on the outside of its flagship, landmark Toronto building. Geezus.

The Canadian Media Guild is currently participating in a campaign to get Canadians to tell the CRTC to "Stop the Big Media Takeover." The CRTC will be holding a hearing in September to look at measures to ensure a "diversity of voices" in the country's media. It's important that the regulator hear from more than just industry lawyers. You can submit comments RIGHT HERE.

All comments must be sent to the CRTC by tomorrow, July 18. So, stop drooling on your keyboard, exercise your democratic right and click the freakin' link you sexy, socially-aware thangs, you.
