These humanitarians and heroes of media reform and civil
rights need little introduction. Their addresses were given at
the National Conference for Media Reform in mid-January in Memphis, TN.
The 3rd NCMR brought together 3500 media activists, analysts,
academics, authors, journalists, producers, members of NGOs&
non-profits, government officials, and concerned citizens to address
the multiple challenges to a free media and, in turn, a free democracy.
Media Consolidation - the gathering of more media outlets into
fewer and fewer (and richer and richer, and more Republican) hands -
was a primary concern of many of the dozens of speakers and panelists
but Net Neutrality, Media Justice, The Digital Divide, and ultimately
the decline of the press to perform it's watchdog function in a free
society were well examined.
