Media Consolidation Conference archives complete
Last week this campus was the site of a conference entitled "Can Freedom of the Press Survive Media Consolidation?" sponsored by the Illinois Initiative for Media Policy Research, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Quite a line-up: Seymour Hersh, Amy Goodman, Naomi Klein, Orville Schell, Phil Donahue, Dennis Swanson, and many more great speakers.
We decided to capture everything on video, and provide streaming video archives for general edification. All material is made available with Some Rights Reserved under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs License (full details at http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/ ).

The quality of the video isn't entirely my fault: lighting issues prevented perfection. The content is there without too many impediments. So if you missed this great conference, you don't have to. And get busy with media reform please.
