National Conference on Media Reform

This last weekend, journalists and activists gathered at the National Conference on Media Reform. My friend Barbara emailed some of the details of this event to me, and I was able to watch part of it live. The most striking thing for me was this speech by Bill Moyers.

The internet is still free, and has yet to be completely dominated by Corporatism. The events of recent months have shown us how important the blogosphere is in getting out real information to the world. They have also shown us that it is impossible to rely on Big Media for accurate information, unfiltered by corporate or partisan interest. Facts are available, but not easy to find. We must fight to keep the corporations from monetizing the blogosphere, and keep the information flowing.

Information wants to be free!
