Community Dialogue on Media Ownership with FCC Commissioners Copps and Adelstein; Localism and Diversity to be Key Items at forum in L.A. on 8/31
Federal Communications Commissioners Jonathan Adelstein and Michael Copps will make a rare visit to Los Angeles on August 31 to listen to the public's concerns about localism and diversity in media. They will be joined by Congresswomen Hilda Solis and Diane Watson for this Community Dialogue on Media Ownership - a timely opportunity for Angelenos to have their voices heard by key policymakers regarding media consolidation and its impacts on local communities.
The forum is taking place as the FCC prepares to review sweeping changes to the few remaining ownership limits that protect the public from a fully consolidated media landscape. The FCC recently issued an official query on whether the media ownership rules are "necessary in the public interest as the result of competition." It is very important that Angelenos participate at this event and be heard.
The Town-Hall Meeting is sponsored by the National Latino Media Council, in partnership with Media Alliance and Free Press. More Information: 213-534-3026 • 510-832-9000 ext 303
