Save the Cross-ownership Ban of newspapers and TV/radio in the same market

If FreePress.net is pushing this now, then you can believe that the Obama FCC is poised to kill the ban
on cross ownership of newspapers and TV/radio in large markets, just as the Bush FCC wanted....
(a court overturned the ban last summer and sent it back to the current FCC for further consideration;
all this is described in our film Save KLSD: Media Consolidation & Local Radio,
public screenings start early 2012); Here is a great Businessweek article with more info including a
quote from the new boss of our (former CPR pal) Mera Szendro Bok, Andrew Jay Schwartzman of Media
Access Project in DC).  Sign the online letter below to the FCC and let your voice be heard. 

The FCC holds a media ownership tomorrow (Dec. 1, 3-6pm PT/5pm-8pm ET) Thursday in Atlanta,
so sign the letter today! You can get more info and watch and email/twitter live here: http://www.savethenews.org/atlanta
