A weekly review of news at the intersection of media and democracy.
In this week's program: Congress will soon begin working on an overhaul to the Telecommunications Act of 1996, and a call has been made for transparency to the revision process. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay loses a key staffer to Time Warner. The broadcast industry seeks to use hurricane coverage as a political weapon in order to hang on to valuable analog TV spectrum. And Clear Channel's top executives get a big vote of no confidence from a significant shareholder.
