Pushing for Diversity in Communications

Waves of major mergers and media consolidations have spelled trouble for African-American ownership in the communications arena. African American representation among senior level executives has not fared much better. After the repeal of the Minority Tax Certificate in 1995 and the enactment of the 1996 Telecommunications Act, the number of minority-owned broadcast facilities decreased by 40% in just two years later.
