Now in its fourth iteration, the National Conference for Media Reform (NCMR) is the largest and highest-profile gathering of media reform advocates in the nation.

The NCMR is the place where thousands of activists, media makers, educators, journalists, academics, policymakers and engaged citizens come together to meet, share their stories, swap tactics, listen to great speakers and build the movement for better media in America.

Mark your calendar: NCMR 2008 will be held in Minneapolis, Minnesota on June 6-8.
