A weekly review of news at the intersection of media and democracy.
In this week's program: New Orleans bets on free wi-fi to stimulate its redevelopment, leading incumbent phone company BellSouth to throw a tantrum. New controversy at the Corporation for Public Broadcasting over compensation to former executives. New York's payola investigation snags another major label conglomerate, while legislation is introduced in Congress to stop the practice. And a Fast Fact: the growth of product placement in print.
This program is free to all to air; questions, comments, etc. should be directed to mediaminutes@freepress.net, thanks.
