In many European and African nations, public broadcasting is more prevalent and less influenced by corporate interests, offering a contrast to the U.S. model of private media dominance.
The FCC's investigation into ABC’s The View reflects deeper systemic issues in media ownership and regulation.
By examining historical precedents, cross-cultural models, and the voices of marginalized communities, it becomes clear that a more equitable media landscape requires structural reforms, including stronger public broadcasting and ownership limits. These changes would help ensure that media serves the public interest rather than corporate or political agendas.
