PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS The FTC continues to devote resources to the organization of workshops, conferences, and hearings to
foster an environment of discussion and analysis of the hot-topic issues that relate to competition. Of particular note, during
FY 2010, the FTC convened a two-day workshop analyzing how the expansion of electronic delivery of news through new media
methods is challenging traditional news organizations, and the implications for competition among media outlets and for consumer
welfare. In addition, the FTC held a series of workshops to consider updates to the Horizontal Merger Guidelines that are
used by the FTC and the Department of Justice to evaluate the potential competitive effects of mergers and acquisitions, and
a workshop on the intersection of patent and competition policy.
