A weekly review of news at the intersection of media and democracy.
In this week's program: Advocates of Community Internet projects see a bright future as incumbent phone and cable companies' attempts to outlaw public competition in the broadband marketplace are rebuffed. However, officials in New Orleans may face prosecution for making a wireless network freely available to residents and businesses. Journalists at a dozen newspapers seek to purchase their workplaces. And a Fast Fact: Industry shills masquerade as grassroots groups in the political fight over changes to telecommunications regulations.
This program is free to all to air; questions, comments, etc. should be directed to mediaminutes@freepress.net - and thanks!
