Media Reform Begins With MeBy borges, Section Friday Web Picks
The National Conference on Media Reform began today in Minneapolis. The schedule is full and 3,000 reform minded folks are attending. There was a nice panel discussion about election coverage (or lack) with John Nichols, Robert "Biko" Baker and David Sirota (author of The Uprising.) I recorded the intro speech by Sirota that was a pretty good pep talk and push in a direction for non-corporate media.
Thinking about the election coming up, it seems a good idea to reach out to our community to see where the voters stand on candidates and issues. I could make the time, or any of you fair readers could step up and make it happen. Listen to Sirota and see if he sparks your imagination at all. KickTime is here to help make it happen.
