So you thought day one of the National Conference for Media Reform was exciting? Well, power up for day two, because we’ve got a thrilling program of inspiring speeches, engaging panels and new films ahead of us, topped by an amazing night of music, dance and spoken word performances.

We’ll jumpstart the day at 8:00 a.m. with a morning plenary with legendary journalist Bill Moyers. Take our word for it; it’s worth getting up early to make it to this one. A former White House aide and press secretary for President Lyndon B. Johnson, Moyers’ extraordinary broadcasting career at CBS and PBS includes the programs Bill Moyers’ Journal, Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth, NOW with Bill Moyers and Moyers on America. This is Moyers’ fourth appearance at the National Conference for Media Reform.

Moyers’ plenary will be followed by a packed day of panels, starting at 9:30 a.m., on topics as diverse as media reform and social change, global human rights, grassroots lobbying, coverage on race and gender in the 2008 campaign, hate speech, the Netroots, media and the war, and privacy in the age of AT&T, Google and the NSA.

And that’s just in the morning. The afternoon will feature sessions on media policy in a new Congress and administration, on fundraising for better media, on LGBT issues, black radio, new media models, youth media makers, and organizing for change on the social web. These are the topics that people in the vanguard of the movement for better media are talking about, so be sure to be there. And there’s something for everyone, just check the list of sessions and speakers.

As if all that weren’t enough, we’ve also got a great line-up of new films on media issues that matter. Today’s program includes Blood and Oil, a new documentary based on the work of The Nation magazine correspondent Michael T. Klare that includes a Q&A with producer Scott Morris. We’re also screening Hip Hop: Beyond Beats and Rhymes, a riveting examination of manhood, sexism and homophobia in hip-hop culture. Director Byron Hurt will talk about the inspiration for and the making of the award-winning documentary in a Q&A session after the film. We’ll also have a special test screening of Broadcast Blues, a groundbreaking film produced and directed by Emmy winner Sue Wilson; film shorts from the Media That Matters film festival, and War Made Easy, Norman Solomon's insightful analysis of the strategies used by administrations, both Democratic and Republican, to promote their agendas for war, from Vietnam to Iraq.

This amazing program will come to a head at 8:00 p.m. with Media Reform Begins With Me, a fast-paced, multimedia night of inspiring speeches and music, dance and spoken-word performances. Emcees Lizz Winstead, co-creator of The Daily Show, and Baratunde Thurston of Laughing Liberally will crack us up, and the DJ will keep us moving. Plus we’ll hear from conference-goers and unveil the 2008 inductees into the “Big Media Hall of Shame.” The extraordinary, star-studded line-up of speakers includes Arianna Huffington of Huffington Post, Senator Byron Dorgan, legendary journalist Dan Rather, FCC Commissioner Michael Copps, author Naomi Klein and Columbia Law professor Tim Wu. We’ll see you there.
