Harold Feld of the Media Access Project gives us the skinny on a petition by Prometheus et all to the FCC demanding a freeze on translator applications in order to halt the trafficking scam. And, coincidentally, the FCC does it.
The mediageek radioshow is a weekly critical look at our media environment, with a focus on independent media and the people who make it.
