<P class=body>What does the ongoing writers' strike have to do with Big
Media? Everything.
<P class=body>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.
<P class=body>We'll be joined by a representative from the Writer's
Guild of America, and <B>Marty Kaplan</B>, director of the Norman Lear
Center at USC's Annenberg School of Communication.
<P class=body><B>What:</B> Online Chat: WGA Strike and Media
Reform<BR><B>Date:</B> Thursday, Dec. 6<BR><B>Time:</B> 8:00 p.m. ET /

<P class=body><A
href="http://action.freepress.net/ct/W7MMYFK1eBVj/">Marty Kaplan</A> 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.
<P class=body>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.
<P class=body>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:
