Summary:
[Note: recordings of Seattle's Nov. 2006 FCC Hearing can be found here.]
March 7, 2003's Seattle FCC Hearing on media ownership and the companion event Shaping the Media Landscape of Seattle attracted a participating audience of around 350. Over 800 turned out that evening for The Future of Media: Action for Media Democracy. The overwhelmingly anti-consolidation character of public comments is making a strong impression on FCC decisionmakers, and may turn the tide of this debate as hearings continue. Listen now to streaming recordings from these Media Democracy events on Seattle.
