Future SFRC Roundtable on Independent Media?

[Luftmensch067]

I went looking to see if today's hearing on the US and the G-20 would be broadcast live on C-SPAN (ha, ha! no evidence of it on the schedule as it stands) and then checked out the SFRC hearings schedule. Looks like this hearing scheduled for Thursday has been postponed, but it should be great if and when it's rescheduled!

1. Interesting! It seems Kerry's interest in journalism continues unabated

after he did that newspaper hearing in the subcommittee of the Commerce committee.

I hope people don't mind my continued updates on newspapers (the Murdoch thread I created). I continue to find the topic fascinating, especially as it will affect all of us directly.

2. I appreciate your updates on that, it really is an important issue

Our democracy depends on an informed populace.

3. Though it is not going to be covered live, they are covering it

The front page has the link, at the top of the page near the pictures of Geithner and Dodd. (They are covering Dodd's oversight hearing at the same time.) http://cspan.org/

They have to cover the House and Senate and they are covering something on the swine flu on CSPAN3, but the fact that it is so prominent likely means they will carry it later.
