Community
Media Conference: Seattle, Sept 10-15 2002
Join us in Seattle
this September as we confront the National Association of Broadcasters
and their ongoing quest for greater consolidation of corporations’ power
over the public airwaves. Our Community Media Conference, including workshops,
major speakers, rallies, music, teach-ins and microradio broadcasting,
will support the continuing development of a national, grassroots media
democracy movement.
Come by the Partytown Booth at the Rally at Freeway Park Saturday!

What
Media Corporations Don’t Tell You About Their Legislative Agendas
From The Center for Public Integrity
"The giant media corporations of today
are special interests in their own right, with unique legislative
agendas that they push on Capitol Hill and in the offices of
federal regulators. The companies that dominate the airwaves
and purvey the news in print are little different from any other
industry. They spend millions on campaign contributions. They
fly lawmakers and regulators around the world on all-expenses-paid
junkets. They hire a “who’s who” of former congressional staffers,
members, and FCC officials to plead their cases in the nation’s
capitol. And more often than not, they get what they want, which
is why media corporations are widely regarded as the most powerful
special interest in Washington." |

"The
radio business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway
where thieves
and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative
side."
