Alliance for Community Media 2009 Conference, Portland, OR Community Media Centers can benefit greatly from the use of website content management systems (CMS) like Drupal. It is a free web tool that can save access staff time and resources and will enhance your center&#8217;s ability to distribute media, publish stories, handle events and so much more - all through your website. This advanced Drupal session will present specific modules designed for access and how to utilize them. Workshop Leaders: Keri Stokstad, Executive Director, Newburyport Community Media, Newburyport, MA; John Montgomery, Civic Pixel, Denver, CO; Kate Gorman, Urbana Public Television, Urbana, IL http://openmediaproject.org http://alliancecm.org

  <blip:puredescription><![CDATA[House Appropriations Committee&#8217;s Subcommittee on Financial Services and General Government Hearing on Public, Educational, and Governmental (PEG) Access to Cable TelevisionFor immediate release September 18, 2008US House Subcommittee will ask FCC to examine harm to public, educational, and governmental acess television In response to testimony from Alliance for Community Media members yesterday, the House Appropriations Committee&#8217;s Subcommittee on Financial Services and General Government voiced strong bi-partisan support for public, educational, and governmental (PEG) access for communities and asked the FCC to examine whether AT&amp;T and other cable operators are in compliance with the Cable Act of 1984.In opening remarks, Subcommittee Chairman Congressman Jose Serrano (NY-D) and Congressman Mark Kirk (IL-R) expressed concern that local PEG access channels are in danger of declining or disappearing as a result of the current regulatory and business environment.Barbara Popovic, Executive Director of Chicago Access Network Television, representing the Alliance, and Michael Max Knobbe, president of the Alliance&#8217;s New York chapter, and Executive Director of BronxNet, presented testimony that detailed multiple problems with PEG access channel delivery arising out of recent actions by the FCC, state legislatures, the cable industry and AT&amp;T. Problems that were outlined included a loss of funding and channels, movement of PEG to higher numbered channels (referred to as &#8220;channel slamming&#8221;), reduced quality and functionality of existing channels, and loss or reductions in public cable drops to schools, libraries and other public centers. Regarding the issues of AT&amp; T&#8217;s treatment of PEG channels, Ms. Popovic said &#8220;Bottom line, AT&amp;T, the company that promotes &#8216;choice&#8217; in cable franchising, is giving viewers no choice when it comes to PEG.&#8221; Mr. Knobbe discussed the problems associated with channel slamming, which include additional costs to consumers to view PEG channels.FCC Media Bureau Chief Monica Desai agreed that at least one of these practices may be illegal, stating &#8220;We believe that placing PEG channels on any tier other than the basic service tier may be a violation of the statute.&#8221; When asked why the FCC was not enforcing that provision of the statute, Ms. Desai indicated that the FCC needed a formal complaint in order to act, and had not received any. In response, Subcommittee member Adam Schiff (CA-D) stated that he believed the FCC had authority to enforce the law whether or not they&#8217;d received complaints.In closing, Subcommittee Chairman Serrano (NY-D) and Representative Kirk (IL-R) announced that they would send a letter to the FCC asking it to deal with the issues raised at the hearing.http://www.ourchannels.org/?p=202]]></blip:puredescription>

Busy people become media reformers only when they realize that their most sacred cause is crippled by today&#8217;s Big Media monopolies. To make reform a top national issue, we need more people who understand media and the way it operates in our culture. But well-meaning media reformers and educators too often fail to motivate students and citizens. We can do better.

A DVD with handouts and motivational clips will be provided.&quot;Bob McCannon, Action Coalition for Media Educationhttp://www.freepress.net/node/39205Bob has taught media education in middle, high and graduate school. He authored more than 40 resources, from college texts to videos, DVDs and CD-ROMs -- emphasizing a unique media-driven, interactive, Socratic methodology. Desiring truly independent media education, Bob co-founded the Action Coalition for Media Education (ACME), the only national media education organization that takes no money from Big Media and has a code of ethics. In October 2008, Bob will become the only non-pediatrician to win the coveted Holroyd-Sherry Media Education Award for effectiveness and dedication to the welfare of children from the American Academy of Pediatrics for whom he has done dozens of workshops. Bob&apos;s skills programs and definitions have been adopted in most states and worldwide. His curricula cover media issues from reform and democracy to gender, debt, health, math, science, economics and history. Bob&apos;s latest project was to author a comprehensive review of the media education and media literacy research literature that appears in Children Adolescents and Media, a college text due out in July 2008 with surprising data, causing Bob to create new techniques for maximizing media education.

  <blip:puredescription><![CDATA[On March 7, 2008, Connecticut&apos;s Joint Committee on Energy &amp; Technology held a 4-hour hearing on HB 5814, a bill to amend last year&apos;s statewide video franchising law.

  <blip:puredescription><![CDATA[On March 7, 2008, Connecticut&apos;s Joint Committee on Energy &amp; Technology held a 4-hour hearing on HB 5814, a bill to amend last year&apos;s statewide video franchising law. There are two essential protections that PEG access advocates are asking to have added:1) The bill should require any new video service providers to present all PEG access channels with the equivalent quality, accessibility and functionality of all other channels, as current cable providers do; and2) all new video service providers shall bear the equipment and transmission costs of receiving the PEG access channels&apos; signals, as current cable providers do.Both of these concerns stem from AT&amp;T&apos;s stated intentions in this state and others 1) to carry PEG channels in a significantly degraded fashion on its U-Verse service, and 2) to charge the PEG access providers for both the equipment and transmission costs necessary in order to receive their signals.Clip 3*:Begins with Bill Vallee, Connecticut Office of the Consumer Counsel.
