Abstract:

In 2003, President George Bush appointed Kevin J. Martin the new head of the Federal Communications Commission, succeeding Michael Powell. Martin is a native of North Carolina and is a 1989 graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He served as deputy general counsel of Bush's presidential campaign, before being appointed to the FCC. Morgan discusses some of Martin's beliefs about the communications industry, including a desire to deregulate media ownership.
