Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) does not regulate newspapers, as its jurisdiction covers interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite, and cable. Newspapers fall outside of this scope because they are considered print media, not electronic communications.
