As you find yourself working to replace our broken media system, remember to register for the conference in time for the earlybird rate.
There will be lots of opportunities for independent media makers to share their work and form their own agenda for the media policy movement. You'll also get to meet some excellent local media makers and check out the St. Louis IMC's Community Arts and Media Project.
In addition to hundreds of grassroots activists from across the country, numerous people with access to power will be there, including FCC Commissioners Michael Copps and Jonathan Adelstein, comedian Al Franken, author Naomi Klein, journalist Juan Gonzalez, FAIR’s Janine Jackson, Democracy Now’s Amy Goodman, syndicated columnist Arianna Huffington, and TransAfrica Forum’s Bill Fletcher. Activist leaders and members of Congress will be there as well.
Scholarships are available – DEADLINE EXTENDED.
Free Press has secured a limited amount of funding to provide scholarships to offset attendance costs for activists who could not otherwise afford to attend. We are extending the scholarship application deadline to March 15. See www.freepress.net/conference/=scholarship to learn more and apply.
A chance to showcase your work. The “Media Democracy Showcase” will provide an interactive space for conference participants to learn about the exciting array of media activism and reform work being done by local, regional and national groups across the country. We invite media activist organizations to use this opportunity to showcase their work and network with conference participants. Space is limited, so go to www.freepress.net/conference/=showcase to learn more and apply.
For more details, including info on the venue, schedule, program, lodging information, and much more, please visit the conference web site, www.freepress.net/conference.
We'll see you in St. Louis! |
