Nearly 200 people attended an FCC hearing in Atlanta on Dec. 1 to speak out against rampant media consolidation.
Video from the event is coming soon.
The event was held just days before we expect the FCC to propose changes to its media ownership rules that could be a big handout to industry.
Now, more than ever, we need our numbers to drown out industry dollars.
If you didn’t attend the hearing, your voice can still be heard. Send a letter to FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski today urging the Commission to pass strong rules that serve the public, not big broadcasters
