@NCMR 2008: Opening Plenary-Media at a Critical Juncture

I am watching the amazing Adrienne Maree Brown ED of the Ruckus Society, activist, singer and gal pal is keeping it real about the necessity for the media reform movement to be accountable to community organizers in this morning's key note. This is going to be a theme throughout the conference for me. Media justice is not just about inviting us community groups to the table of your reform agenda, but letting us set the agenda through our grassroots work.

You can listen live here.

She also gave CMJ and MAGnet a shout out as an example of community based activism around media policy. YAY!

UPDATE: I am sitting next to Jenn Pozner of Women in Media and News. You know you want to be me. She is live-blogging as well check here for updates.
