Adam might ruin your day. But he might save your future.
Adam Ruins Everything was one of my favorite TV shows. When it was canceled, I was really confused and wondered why. Apparently, thanks to a messy media merger, it was taken off the air when networks consolidated. Well, Adam Conover, the host of that show, took his time off and actually looked into media mergers.
What he uncovered is the fight of our life in Hollywood, and many of us do not know it yet.
Adam spoke before FTC Chair Lina Khan and Assistant Attorney General for Antitrust Jonathan Kanter this week about how corporate mergers are devastating working conditions, access to diverse voices, and artistic freedom in media.
Check out this video from Adam Conover on the dangers of media mergers.
This was powerful and disturbing. It made me really worried about storytellers.
