Dear Dr. E-K.,
The 2008 National Conference for Media Reform is just one
month away.
I know how it is. You've been waiting... waffling...
deciding when to make your plans. Well, now is the time to book your
trip to Minneapolis.
Today we're rolling out the full
schedule of programs and workshops to prove it -- more than 60
sessions to choose from and nearly 250
presenters lined up.
Register
Now for NCMR, June 6-8 in Minneapolis
Here's a sneak peek:

Rather, Amy Goodman, Maria Hinojosa and Naomi
Klein

Rosa Clemente, Wally Bowen and Malia Lazu

Gandy, Alex Nogales and Rev. Lennox Yearwood

And I haven't even mentioned sessions on media and the
elections, hate speech, how independent media creates change, hip hop
activism, new directions in public media and what’s next for the netroots.
Or all the hands-on workshops on everything from media literacy and media
monitoring to grassroots organizing, campus activism, fundraising, messaging
and making change in your community.
There will also be new films, musical performances, and
thousands of the most incredible media reformers you'll ever meet. Be there
and help build the movement for better media.

Did I mention the thriving arts and culture scene in
Minneapolis? I could go on and on about how great this event is going to be
