[THE ELECTRONIC MEDIA LANDSCAPE] Traditionally, media in the United States have been regulated by one of three models:print, broadcasting, and ''common carrier'' (e.g., telephone and telegraph), with cableTV treated as something in between print and broadcasting.
More generally, and partly because of concerns about media cross-ownership in the United States, regulation of media is subject to specific statutes, chiefly the Communications Act of 1934 and the Telecommunications Act of 1996, under the guidance of the Federal Communications Commission.
