Democracy Now! interviews Craig Aaron, the incoming president of media advocacy group Free Press. Democracy Now! broadcasts from the National Conference on Media Reform in Boston where more than 2,000 media activists, journalists, academics and lawmakers have gathered during a time of massive cutbacks in the news industry and increasing concentration of media ownership. Comcast merged with NBC in January, and last month AT&T announced plans to purchase T-Mobile, a deal that could leave the country with just three wireless carriers. Meanwhile the Federal Communications Commission faces increasing criticism for its lack of progress on expanding the nation's broadband system.
Craig was interviewed as part of a media roundtable discussion with Sascha Meinrath, director of the New America Foundation's Open Technology Initiative, and Malkia Cyril, the executive director and founder of the Center for Media Justice.
