Abstract
The paper consists of three sections. In the first, I address the meaning of media diversity and the complications that conceptualizing media diversity pose for developing a non-contestable (if such is possible) measurement system. The second section analyses the controversy that enveloped the FCC’s attempt to develop its Diversity Index. The final section will offer some concluding comments.
