"What this merger invites is the possibility of a new era in American communications that sees the end of an independent press," said Tom Rosenstiel, director of the Project for Excellence in Journalism. Not everyone is as alarmed. Richard Epstein, a law professor at the University of Chicago, said the Internet still offers a worldwide venue for dissenting voices. He added the industry is still diverse enough to keep itself in check. The $145 billion stock deal announced Monday allies AOL's 22 million online subscribers with a news and entertainment conglomerate that includes CNN, Time magazine, TBS, TNT, Fortune, Sports Illustrated and Entertainment Weekly.
