Petition Introduce a 20% cap on national media ownership.

TalkPolitics is calling for an end to monopolies on media ownership. Over 50% of national UK papers sold, are controlled by two billionaires.

We're calling for stricter regulations, that limit the amount of national media that can be owned by one person/company to 20%.

More details

We want to;

- Make the Media Market truly free and competitive,
- Create a defence against abuse of market power,
- Ensure a free press rather than one controlled by media moguls,
- Protect against corporate greed in a market essential to democracy.
