u e r t o R i c o 19. ANTITRUST LAWS LIMITING CAPITAL
CONCENTRATION IN THE PRINT MEDIA Volume 47 of the Federal Regulatory Code (CFR) S. 73.35555
deals with regulation of concentration of media ownership in the
same market. The policy applied is the same as laid down by the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC). There is a ban on one person
owning a newspaper and a radio station in the same market (S. 73.3555(a)(1)
(1994). The same rule applies in the case of English-language newspapers
(Paragraph 6 of the above-mentioned rule). The anti-trust provisions of the Federal Anti-Monopoly Laws
are not applicable to newspapers. S. 48 of Volume 48 of the Federal
Code of Regulations provides for a special procedure for asking
the attorney general for permission to carry out joint ventures.
Although these are not monopolies, the prohibition stipulated in
Chapter 13 of the Trade Code applies.
