No-one appears to be happy about a Federal Communications Commission proposal to relax the rule that has prevented a company from owning both a newspaper and a radio or TV station in the same United States city.

On the other side, newspaper industry chiefs argue that the plan does not go far enough and fear that some conglomerates may have to sell off media outlets. (Via New York Times)
