Our public media campaign has a new home at SaveTheNews.org, where you’ll find information about journalism, public media and media consolidation all in one place.
Stay tuned, as the fight for public media continues.
Over the last year, we have seen a series of forward-thinking reports produced by academics, policymakers, technologists, journalists and advocates that lay out the challenges and opportunities in our media system. Free Press’ executive director, Josh Silver, spoke with Current.org’s Karen Everheart this week about how to move these proposals from concept and vision to action at the federal level.
The article says:
For pubcasting reform proposals to gain any traction in Washington, advocates need a specific proposal to present to Congress and the public. Silver describes the need for a ‘high-level, White House-sanctioned commission’ to adapt the recommendations of the Knight Commission on the Information Needs of Communities in a Democracy. The commission, a bipartisan panel that studied the news and information needs of citizens in a digitally networked democracy, called for policies assuring faster and universally available broadband service, digital literacy education and transparency and access to government records and deliberations. It also recommended that public broadcasting move toward a ‘broader vision of public media.’
Achieving that broader vision will take concrete reforms. But it is vital that we don’t just prop up the existing system without recognizing that public media are much larger than just PBS and NPR.
The article continues:
Free Press’s agenda for pubcasting reform includes a substantial increase in federal funding, strengthening firewall protections, diversifying the audience and content and an ‘expanded definition of what public media is in a digital environment,’ Silver said. Cable access TV channels, community radio and low-power FM stations would be among the groups eligible for federal aid under Free Press’s proposal.

This is a really good article. I'm not sure if its factually correct but its great to read. You make some really good points and I cant believe that it has taken this long for Speeding Fines and a
Compromise Agreement system to be put in place. With the new YouView TV and
YouView Box hitting the market in the next few years, we can expect a Wedding Hairdresser to start using Home Brew Kits more frequently.

This information was once
This information was once only available in trade publications that dealers had access to. There are now numerous sources for used car
pricing. Several of the services, most notably those in the United Kingdom and the United States, sell reports to dealers and then encourage the dealers to display the reports on their Internet sites.used trucks | toyota used cars | nissan used cars | honda used cars.
