Quoted: In the opinion of several media antitrust experts, the current joint distribution deal and sharing of editorial content doesnâ??t quite cross the line. But further consolidation might. â??It does raise some concerns,â? said University of Wisconsin law professor Shubha Ghosh, an expert on media antitrust cases. â??But you would have to prove who is harmed in this process. The readers probably are not, under the strict definition of the law. But if they start combining ad rates, competing media or those that buy the ads might have a case.â?
