Must Watch: Moyers on Minority Media Ownership
Posted November 2nd, 2007 by Craig Aaron
Don’t miss tonight’s episode of Bill Moyers Journal — which looks at the FCC’s rush to gut media ownership rules and what that means for the already shamefully low number of women and minority media owners.
The show features footage from September’s impassioned media ownership hearing in Chicago at Rainbow PUSH headquarters. It will include interviews with FCC Commissioners Michael Copps and Jonathan Adelstein, Senators Trent Lott and Byron Dorgan, WVON-AM’s Melody Spann-Cooper, and many more.
