What does the ongoing writers' strike have to do with Big Media? Everything.



Join us this Thursday night, Dec.6, for a live online discussion about how
media consolidation has hurt writers, silenced independent voices, and
eroded quality entertainment. 


We'll be joined by a representative from the Writer's Guild of America, and
Marty Kaplan, director of the Norman Lear Center at USC's Annenberg School
of Communication. 


What: Online Chat: WGA Strike and Media Reform
Date: Thursday, Dec. 6
Time: 8:00 p.m. ET / 5:00 p.m. PT 
Location: HYPERLINK

HYPERLINK "http://action.freepress.net/ct/W7MMYFK1eBVj/"Marty Kaplan is
currently serving as the director of the Norman Lear Center at USC's
Annenberg School of Communication. He has been a White House speechwriter; a
Washington journalist; a deputy presidential campaign manager; a Disney
studio executive; a motion picture and television producer and screenwriter;
and a radio host. 


They will discuss what the writers are fighting for, what new media means
for their livelihood, and what the rest of us can do to help their effort. 


After all, the same media conglomerates tying to squeeze the writers are
spending plenty to convince the FCC to put corporate profit ahead of local,
diverse media. Help us spread the word about this important event:
