Public forum on media ownership

Is Common Cause participating in a public forum on media ownership January 18 in Philadelphia?

Media Tank is organizing an unofficial public hearing for the public to learn more about media ownership and put their comments on the public record. The event will be streamed live on the Internet.

Media Tank will be joined by Democratic FCC Commissioners Jonathan S. Adelstein and Michael J. Copps as well as a panel of speakers from local media and civic organizations who will address aspects of media ownership, diversity, and consolidation. After the panel discussion, the public will be invited to offer their views on the issue.

The forum will be at Temple University and moderated by Concetta M. Stewart, Dean of Temple University's School of Communications and Theater.
