FCC to announce final media ownership hearing in Seattle

FCC Chairman Kevin Martin plans to hold the last of six official public hearings on media ownership rules in Seattle, before rushing the agency's 18-month long consideration of the rules to a fast-tracked conclusion by mid-December. The hearing will be the only chance for Northwest residents to weigh in on proposals that would allow giant media companies to grow even more concentrated. While Martin has apparently proposed holding a Seattle hearing on Nov. 2--less than two weeks away!--no date has been officially announced.

Beginning next Wednesday, Reclaim the Media will provide testimony workshops for anyone wishing to testify at the Seattle FCC hearing, or to learn more about media ownership issues. Read on for more information, a summary of the rules at stake, and addtional resources.

Olympia workshop schedule:

  • Sat 10/27 4-5:30pm: Traditions Cafe (300 5th Avenue SW)
  • Tues 10/30 4:30-6pm: Evergreen State library, 1st floor lobby
  • Thurs 11/1 8pm: Media Island (816 Adams St)

Thanks!

I thought it was me - the message I got on my browser didn't tell me it was in queue for moderation. Anyways, thanks for the help!

yeah...

the message I got on my browser didn't tell me it was in queue for moderation

That's a problem we need to get figured out. It's led to more conspiracy theories about OlyBlog moderation than I care to count...
