Yes We Can: It's Time to Expand Community Radio  Low-power community radio has been unfairly constricted for eight years, mainly because big radio doesn't want competition from small-scale local, noncommercial stations - stations which broadcast local community voices and local music choices. This fall, Congress has the opportunity to expand LPFM by passing the Local Community Radio Act. The Senate, led by Maria Cantwell and others, has already passed this legislation. Now it's up to the House of Representatives. Let them know it's time to take action! » read more Finishing the Job on Media Ownership  Last December, the FCC ignored the pleas of millions of Americans, and ruled that big media companies should be allowed to control even more of what we see and hear. Now, Congress is considering a measure that would roll back that bad decision, and restore reasonable limits on media ownership in large markets. It's up to us to make sure Congress acts. Click here to take action now! » read more Arts/Activism | Communications Rights | Media Literacy/Bias | Newswire Media Heroes trading cards honor media activists, journalists, teachers Summary: Reclaim the Media presents our latest and most fun media literacy tool: Media Heroes Trading Cards, recognizing the accomplishments of twenty-one praiseworthy journalists, media activists, and educators.

The Senate's Resolution of Disapproval passed nearly unanimously. The action now moves to the House of Representatives, where Washington State Representatives Jay Inslee and Dave Reichert have introduced a companion resolution. » read more | login or register to post comments Media Politics | Newswire House, Senate launch crusade against media consolidation Summary:In the House of Representatives, a bipartisan coalition led by Rep. Jay Inslee has filed a measure that would void the controversial media ownership rules pushed through the FCC by Chairman Kevin Martin last December. The Resolution of Disapproval comes on the heels of a similar resolution filed the previous week by a bipartisan group of Senators including Maria Cantwell, Byron Dorgan, Ted Stevens, Barack Obama, Hilary Clinton and Olympia Snowe. » read more | login or register to post comments Broadband/Cable | Communications Rights | Legislation and Regulation | Newswire House Bill forges a new path towards Net Neutrality Summary:Rep. Ed Markey has introduced new legislation to help make Internet freedom, or net neutrality, the law of the land. Markey's Internet Freedom Preservation Act sets forth strong public-interest values which we need to sustain a truly democratic Internet, and it directs the FCC to heed those values when responding to violations of net neutrality by companies such as Comcast and AT&T.

The Media Ownership Act would retroactively prevent the FCC’s rushed decision from becoming law by requiring more time for public comment. In the Senate, Senator Maria Cantwell is cosponsoring a similar bill.Take action to urge your elected officials to reverse the FCC! » read more | login or register to post comments Legislation and Regulation | Newswire FCC weakens ownership rules - issue now heads to Congress Summary:On Dec. 18, the FCC voted 3-2 to remove an important protection for diverse voices in our media. Chairman Kevin Martin pushed through the decision, which will allow big media firms to combine both a newspaper and TV or radio stations in the same market, despite overwhelming opposition from the public and elected officials across the political spectrum. Dissident Commissioner Michael Copps said of the vote, "Powerful companies are using political muscle to sneak through rule changes that let them profit at the expense of the public interest." While the decision ends media ownership deliberations at the FCC, controversy over the issue is far from over. Congress may act to overturn the FCC's decision; it's up to us to make sure that happens. Add your voice to the chorus of dissent! Take action - write to Congress and tell them to roll back the FCC's giveaway to big media corporations. » read more | login or register to post comments 123456789…next ›last »
