Milwaukee, WI - FCC town meeting

Do you want more quality journalism? Are you concerned about the consolidation of media ownership? Do you think important issues don't get enough air time? Is your community fairly represented in the media?

Here's your chance to tell the Federal Communications Commission!

On Thursday September 7, FCC Commissioners Jonathan Adelstein and Michael Copps will be in Milwaukee, for a "Town Meeting on the Future of Media." Members of the public will raise media issues with the Commissioners directly.

This fall, the FCC will consider new media ownership rules that will increase the number of newspapers, radio stations and TV stations that one company is allowed to own. There is no better time to speak out than now!

Note: If you are interested in taking a van from Madison to the Milwaukee town meeting, please email diane(AT)prwatch.org to reserve a seat! The bus will leave from the UW Memorial Union (800 Langdon St) at 4:00 pm on Thurs Sept 7 (and return by 11 pm that night).
