Public Media: Apocalypse Soon?

Fred Johnson

Fred Johnson listens to Nettrice Gaskins as Danielle Martin liveblogs the event.

Last night I participated in a fascinating community meeting in Boston's Chinatown about the future of public media and its current threats in Congress. Organized by Fred Johnson of UMass/Boston and his Tactical Media Group, the panel included media advocate Alice Myatt, Dan Coughlin of Manhattan Neighborhood Networks and myself. I talked about public media and the digital divide at the international level, while Alice and Dan respectively addressed the issue from a national and local perspective.

Danielle Martin liveblogged the event, so I encourage you to read her detailed notes from the gathering. Meanwhile, I'm currently compressing the audio of the event into three separate podcasts that I'll post shortly. And word has it that video of the event will soon be available - I'll share that too when I get ahold of it. -andy
