It's worth re-iterating that this conference is the one I'd recommend if you only go to one out-of-town event in 2007.  The previous conference (last year in St. Louis) was a powerful experience with myriad presentations of practical approaches, and the variety of experience with reforming media in America.  The list of speakers now includes:

• FCC Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein
• Ben Bagdikian, Author, The Media Monopoly
  
• David Brock, Author, Media Matters for America
  
• FCC Commissioner Michael Copps
• Davey D, DJ and Hip Hop Activist
  
• Phil Donahue, Television Host
  
• Jane Fonda, Actor and Co-Founder, Women's Media Center
• Kim Gandy, President, National Organization for Women
  
• Juan Gonzalez, New York Daily News
  
• Amy Goodman, Democracy Now!
  
• Robert Greenwald, Producer and Director
  
• Rev. Jesse Jackson, Civil Rights Leader
  
• Van Jones. ColorofChange.org
  
• Rev. Tim MacDonald, Civil Rights Leader
  
• Robert McChesney, President, Free Press
  
• Bill Moyers, Journalist and Author
  
• John Nichols, Journalist
  
• Katrina Vanden Heuvel, The Nation

Early registration ends Friday, Nov. 17.
