The National Conference on Media Reform
Moving beyond critique to action, the National Conference on Media Reform is a groundbreaking forum to democratize the debate over media policymaking. A broad range of media reform activists will join members of Congress, the FCC, and leaders of major groups working for civil rights, women's rights, rural renewal, the environment, labor, community development and other issues to:
* Mobilize new constituencies;
* Strengthen coalitions working in Washington and at the grassroots;
* Develop unified action plans for immediate and long-term reforms; and
*Generate policies and strategies that will structurally improve the media system.
Featured speakers and performers include US Representatives John Conyers, Jan Schakowsky and Bernie Sanders; FCC Commissioners Michael Copps and Jonathan Adelstein; AFL-CIO President John Sweeney; PBS President Pat Mitchell; journalist Juan Gonzalez; Seattle Times Publisher Frank Blethen; Don Henley, DJ Spooky and Billy Bragg; and more, including representatives from a broad range of media reform and social justice organizations.
