I wrote a paper on this for my Pol 1 government class earlier this year. I argued that the television and newspaper media is fairly consolidated, but yes, it is the internet that is counteracting the conglomerates. Citizen media is more popular than ever, and slowly but surely bringing to light an alternative source of news. Hopefully this trend continues and we see, as technology advances, a further integration of citizen media into the masses. With better technology, more people can report their own news, and more people will be able to access it. My bet is that TV and internet will integrate further and it will be easier to say, watch an RSS video feed of multiple citizen media sources on your television, as an alternative to the conglomerate news channels.
