Answer:
The impact of the deregulation of broadcast journalism by the 1996 Telecommunications Act has been to increase consolidation of ownership.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Telecommunications Act of 1996, passed during the Bill Clinton administration, was a law that largely deregulated the telecommunications market at the national level, allowing the creation of media and information monopolies, by enabling companies to owning up to 45% of the market audience and allowing them to own different services, such as radio, television or even the internet, which was previously prohibited. In short, this law allowed the creation or consolidation of much more comprehensive information monopolies, such as Fox or CNN.
