Moving beyond critique to action, the
National Conference on Media Reform is a
groundbreaking forum to democratize the
debate over media policymaking. A broad
range of media reform activists will join
members of Congress, the FCC, and leaders
of major groups working for civil rights,
women’s rights, rural renewal, the environment,
labor, community development and
other issues to:
– Mobilize new constituencies;
– Strengthen coalitions working in Washington
and at the grassroots;
– Develop unified action plans for immediate
and long-term reforms; and
– Generate policies and strategies that will
structurally improve the media system.
Take part in workshops, panels, and
concerts addressing:
• Public broadcasting
• FCC media ownership rules
• Media and antitrust claims

• Internet governance
• Copyright issues
