## Abstract

This document adopts rule changes that presumptively permit newspaper/broadcast cross ownership only in the largest markets and only where there exists competition and numerous voices. The revised rule balances the need to support the availability and sustainability of local news while not significantly increasing local concentration or harming diversity. The Commission generally retains the other broadcast ownership rules currently in effect.
