Can’t attend the Free Press Summit: Changing Media this Thursday in Washington, D.C.? No problem. We still want you to be a part of this unique multimedia event to reshape the future of communications in America.
For too long, we’ve been getting superficial, junk journalism while we’ve been clamoring for hard-hitting, quality reporting. For too long, our public media have been woefully underfunded. And for too long, our Internet has been under attack by corporations that want to control what we see and do on the Web. It’s time we changed the media.
Follow along with what’s sure to be an amazing day full of vigorous discussions about
the public interest policies needed to reshape the future of the Internet, journalism and public media.
Follow us on twitter @freepress from the first keynote speaker to the last small-group deliberation — to join the conversation tag your tweets #fpdc.
