Heads Up, Harrisburg

The FCC has just released the details for its next media ownership hearing. If you live in or near Harrisburg PA, we hope you'll try to make it there to speak out against more Big Media:

What: Official FCC Hearing on Media Ownership
When: Friday, February 23 from 9:00am - 2:30pm
Where: Whitaker Center for Science and the Arts, Sunoco Performance Theater (222 Market Street in Harrisburg PA)

If you can't be there, you can still send a message to the FCC at www.commoncause.org/NoMoreConsolidation.

I have a couple questions for the FCC. Why is this hearing scheduled for a time when most people have work or school? Why was the time and place just announced today, less than 5 days before the hearing (the announcement on the FCC's website is dated for Friday -- but I checked the site yesterday and it wasn't posted)? Why is the Commission making it so difficult for the people of Harrisburg to learn about and attend this hearing?
