| Dear Friends, How low can local Los Angeles TV stations go? A study released yesterday by the Norman Lear Center at the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism calls into question whether our Los Angeles television stations are serving the public interest. The research found: * The typical half-hour news broadcast contains only 21.6 seconds of news about local government. * Meanwhile, 8 minutes and 25 seconds of every half hour are spent on ads; 2 minutes and 10 seconds on teasers; and 3 minutes and 36 seconds on sports and weather. * Of the time left for covering everything else, almost half -- 8 minutes and 17 seconds -- is devoted to news from outside the L.A. media market. Clearly, local television stations are not covering the local stories so vital to our democracy. (Read the full study here.) So what can we do about it? Find out how to make a difference and reform local media by attending our upcoming event: "Preserving Democracy: Los Angeles Media Reform Summit 2010". This is an annual event organized by the L.A. Media Reform Group under the umbrella of California Common Cause. With so much at stake in the 2010 elections, this year's summit will focus on how to utilize the media to promote democracy and advocate for social justice. Event Details: When: Saturday, March 27 from 10:30am-5:00pm Where: Occidental College Who: Brad Friedman from Bradblog, Steven Cuevas from KPCC, Brad Parker from the Huffington Post, Sue Wilson, filmmaker of Broadcast Blues, and many more! Admission: $15. Seniors, students and youth can purchase discounted tickets for $10. Please add $8 if you would like to have a lunch provided. Click here to reserve your spot! We hope to see you there! Sincerely, Kathay Feng and the rest of the team at California Common Cause |
