Concentrated Media Sausage: Making Sense Out Of The FCC's Changes To Media Ownership Rules, The Congressional Attempts To Reverse Them, And What This Means In Our Local Media Environment |
by Paul Riismandel
Email: paul (nospam) mediageek.org |

Just a little more than two weeks after June 2, whenthe Federal Communications Commission passed a set of rulings that loosened key media ownership regulations, the Senate Commerce Committee, which oversees the FCC, approved a bill that would rescind many of these rulings.
In this article I try to make sense of the FCC's decision and the bill that came out of the Senate Commerce Committee on June 19. But to really put things in perspective I think you have to look at how these rules and bills affect our local media.
Unfortunately, almost nothing is ever written about our local media market, except here on the U-C IMC website and in the public i. So I also take a stab at figuring out what effect the FCC's new rules could have on our local media environment, and how the bill now entering Congress might change that situation.
I covered part of the local media analysis on the June 6 edition of the mediageek radio show, heard 5:30 PM Fridays on WEFT ( http://www.mediageek.org/radioshow.html ) and during an interview on the June 9 edition of IMC Radio News ( http://www.ucimc.org/newswire/display/12368/index.php ), heard 5:30 PM Mondays on WEFT. |

Circus protests June 9 and 10 at Champaign County Fairgrounds were a great success. Many would-be attendees turned around and left when protestors told them about Sterling and Reid Brothers' history of Animal Welfare Act violations and false advertising. |

What The Police Are Saying On St. Louis Coptalk. |
by Sascha Meinrath
Email: sascha (nospam) ucimc.org |
16 May 2003

|
This article contains the thread appearing on a public forum called St. Louis Coptalk (SLC). SLC is a forum that many St. Louis Police Officers utilize to discuss issues and topics. This thread, in particular, demonstrates a ethos of blatant disrespect and a willful interest in harming peaceful demonstrators. The entire thread is preserved along with links (in case more of it is removed from public viewing). This is incredibly scary stuff -- especially since some of the posts allude to information that has already been removed from the site and appears to have given names and addresses of various organizers and protestors. |
