• Technology has created a chessboard of corporate owners of U.S. telecommunications and media. The players battle it out in Congress, at the Federal Communications Commission, and in state houses. This project tracks this inside influence game, and names all of the interests involved.

• Well Connected provides the most comprehensive reporting possible on the business and legislative influences behind our nation’s information networks. It includes the Media Tracker, a searchable, online database that allows anyone to learn who owns the broadcast, cable, newspaper, and broadband companies serving any community in the United States.
