The National Conference for Media Reform held in Memphis last weekend was the most exciting conference I’ve ever attended! See www.freepress.net/conference for full listing and free download audio of all sessions, plus video of main speeches.

Speakers: Amy Goodman, Jane Fonda, Jesse Jackson, Danny Glover, Bill Moyers and many more. Topics included:

- concentration of media ownership

- internet neutrality

- intellectual “property”

- future of public broadcasting

- role of media in politics

- plus a wide range of other media issues

Over 3000 people attended. The media reform movement is growing fast! If VFM is successful at UBC, I bet this movement will pick it up and run with it.

BTW, if you’re ever in Memphis don’t miss the National Civil Rights Museum – www.civilrightsmuseum.org.
