The Dangers of Media Consolidation: OJ and the Dixie Chicks

Jon Rintels is the executive director of the Center for Creative Voices in Media, a watchdog which advocates for the freedom of writers to produce intelligent programming. He joins Coy Barefoot on WINA’s Charlottesville–Right Now on December 4, 2006 to discuss how consolidation of media outlets create a situation where O.J. Simpson can be lured into doing a prime-time special. Also, what happened to the Dixie Chicks after 9/11, and the importance of creating local content.
