Closed petition Restrict the share size of individuals and companies in the Media industry.

Closed on

I call upon the Government to create new legislation governing the ownership of the Media outlets, regardless of type, and limit a companies holding in any media outlet to be no more than 15% and no company or family/individual should be allowed to own share in more than one media company.

In brief and to sum up, I call for the introduction of new legislation restricting the share holdings of any one company (including their subsidiaries) or individual (including family members) from holding more than 15% stock in any single media outlet and that no company, single person (including subsidiaries and relatives thereof) from holding stock in more than one type of media outlet,thus reducing any further private agenda's being used by any single individual or company of their own ends.
