Hearing on Media Ownership Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [] Dear Tanya, Do you want the media to do a better job covering issues you care about? Do you want more quality journalism? Are you wondering whether a few giant media conglomerates will provide the diverse and independent viewpoints you need? Now is your chance to tell Washington policymakers how well the media are serving your community. Please join the National Latino Media Council, Media Alliance and Free Press at a "Public Hearing on Media Ownership" in Los Angeles on Thursday with FCC Commissioners Michael Copps and Jonathan Adelstein and Rep. Hilda Solis. Here are the details: Public Hearing on Media Ownership Thursday, Aug. 31, 2006 6:30 p.m. Davidson Conference Center University of Southern California Los Angeles The Public Hearing on Media Ownership is happening at a critical juncture. The Federal Communications Commission is considering new rules that could change the number of newspapers, radio stations and TV stations that one company is allowed to own in one area. The Los Angeles event will focus on the ways that these proposed rule changes would impact communities of color. The forum, which is free and open to the public, will include an open microphone session for the public to offer testimony on media issues directly to Commissioners Copps and Adelstein. All testimony will be recorded and submitted to the FCC and California's congressional delegation. Click here for more information I hope you'll join us on Thursday night and make your voice heard.
