Citizens Mobilize for Action as Media Wars Heat Up

Stevie Converse — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 07:55:29 -0700

As with the first three gatherings, the fourth National Conference on Media Reform went conspicuously missing on the pages, screens, airwaves and cables of what attendees nowadays refer to as the MSM, mainstream media.

My recent search of the New York Times Web site for their coverage of the conference went unrewarded.

Remarks of Commissioner Jonathan S. Adelstein at the National Conference for Media Reform

Alex Kahn — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 13:23:12 -0700

Last night, Dan Rather validated all of our deepest concerns and worst fears about how corporate media has abandoned its sense of responsibility. To make a buck, they are transforming real journalism into infotainment.

Overcoming Hype, Wi-Fi Holds Promise

Stevie Converse — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 05:19:49 -0700

The promise of technology often creates unrealistic expectations for consumers. Municipal Wi-Fi, which politicians and marketers across the country have hyped as the best alternative to bridge the digital divide of Internet haves and have-nots -- and a possible solution for world hunger, global warming and mortality -- is a case in point.

Minneapolis: Something's Happening Here

Stevie Converse — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 07:01:06 -0700

Here in Minneapolis, it's hard to avoid the presidential race. Tuesday, Barack Obama claimed the Democratic nomination before an immense crowd here. In a few months, John McCain will take to the same stage to accept the Republican nod.

This could be the first presidential election where the Internet is an issue.

Ellison, Walz Sign on to Net Neutrality Bill

Stevie Converse — Wed, 21 May 2008 05:48:37 -0700

Web sites that pay a premium will get direct access to readers, while blogs and personal Web sites will be relegated to the "slow lane." That discrimination by telecoms would be undemocratic, Net neutrality supporters say.
