Friends of Community Media on Tell Somebody next Tuesday at 6pm on 90.1 FM KKFI.
Corporate ownership of media continues to consolidate into fewer hands, has become more corrupt in the wake of the Citizens United decision and the citizens are increasingly ill-informed on what they need to know. The nonpartisan media advocacy group Free Press is holding its fifth National Conference on media reform in Boston in April, and across the country, grass roots groups have formed to try to close the corporate media information gap. Exciting things are happening. But is anything happening in Kansas City? Tune in Tuesday at 6 on KKFI or
www.kkfi.org and see what members of Friends of Community Media have to say about it.

The January 25, 2011 edition of Tell Somebody looks at last year's Citizens United v FEC decision, and an upcoming decision on the question of whether corporations should have "personal privacy" rights under the Freedom of Information Act. We hear audio from a Public Citizen press conference on the Citizens United anniversary and an explanation of the AT&T case from Public Citizen attorney Adina Rosenbaum, followed by some audio of the actual arguments. In the news, Kansas City police raid a homeless camp, and a union officer representing workers at the Kansas City nuclear weapons parts plant warns of a possible work stoppage because of Honeywell's anti-union attitude that has workers afraid to report safety violations in the plant.
