SaveKLSD Trailer and Broadcast Blues Screening Nov. 20 at USD

Footage shot for "Save KLSD" -- the media reform film I am co-producing with Jon Monday of Monday Media -- is being shown again before anaudience. Earlier this year, soundbites from the interview we did with SD Congressman Bob Filner were shown at the Democratic Party Grassroots Convention, and on Nov. 20, one of our trailers will be shown at USD -- see my Facebook blurb below.

"What's happened to diversity and localism in radio? Why should we care that mass media has been deregulated and is owned overwhelmingly by a handful of large corporations? (hmm, what happened to financial services when it was deregulated?). Find out Nov. 20 -- See a preview of "Save KLSD", a film (co-produced by Monday Media and Jennifer Douglas) about the grassroots effort to save San Diego's KLSD radio and the larger media reform effort it inspired. Then, watch a screening of "Broadcast Blues", a documentary about how media policy is hurting our democracy. Also learn about a new progressive talk radio station in San Diego, coming soon from Liberty One Media.

Event sponsored by Common Cause, Campaign for Press Reform (CPR), and Democracy Matters (USD chapter).

Broadcast Blues is an entertaining, educating film about the dangers of media oligopolies controlling the "free press" and about what individuals can do to fight back.
