If you can find any examples of non-totalitarian regimes that are facing the same media consolidation problems that were not immediately preceded by Clinton-esque laws deregulating said media consolidation, I would love to know about it!

EDIT: The “world wide web” also played a major role in kneecapping the funding sources of journalism. But failing outlets could not simply be swallowed by conglomerates without the aforementioned liberalization of media ownership.
