consolidation

The decline of ratings and media consolidation has left television more vulnerable to attempts at political intimidation than ever before.

This consolidation would further cement the partisan media model driving deepening political polarization in the U.S., as public and local news media lose funding.

The three states said they wanted to set up "indigenous mechanisms for the consolidation of peace and justice".

The deal would require approval by the FCC and the loosening of rules around industry consolidation.

The industry feels pretty shaky right now: fewer jobs, studio consolidation, anxiety around AI.
