It’s packing time for the trip out to Seattle for the Reclaim the Media! conference next week, being held in conjunction with the National Association of Broadcasters’ own radio industry convention.
In addition to the panels, workshops, rallies and conferences, there will be plenty of time to follow the “mosquito fleet” of microbroadcasters who are mobilizng to send commercial broadcasting a strong message about media and democracy.
It’ll be exciting, enlightening, and hopefully a bit historic! I’m planning on filing some updates from the action, but probably won’t write up a full report until returning home, much like I did for the media democracy activity in San Francisco two years ago. Paul with Mediageek is the traveling companion, and between the two of us we’ll have the event well-covered.
For breaking news from Seattle, make sure to check the Seattle Independent Media Center and the Reclaim the Media! website. Updates to the rest of this site (and the general content resurrection process) will resume when we get back.
