Today, Common Cause released a white paper in collaboration with Harold Feld of the Media Access Project and Gregory Rose of Econometrics Research and Analysis.

The report is titled "Putting the Public Back in Public Interest:
Painless Reforms to Improve the FCC" and outlines numerous problems with processes that the Federal Communications Commission uses to make decisions that impact the country's media.

You can read the entire report by following the link above, or read the press release here.

The report lays out some very simple changes the FCC can undertake that will make it function more in the public interest. Even implementing just a few of the recommendations would go a long way to restoring faith in the FCC.
