Senate Commerce Committee hearing Tuesday morning chaired by John McCain - listen live beginning at 9:30 am by clicking on SR-253 (hopefully it will be covered on one of the C-SPAN channels).

There was a FCC hearing Monday in Marin.

As FCC Commissioner Copps said in his introduction, there is no more important issue for our democracy, but it has received almost no coverage. He said later today he'll receive the draft of the proposed rule changes are scheduled to be voted on June 2nd marked "For Your Eyes Only" and won't become public until four or five weeks after the vote.

He'll be speaking in San Francisco at the Commonwealth Club at 6 pm Monday. I'll be there to cover it and it will be posted on their website and carried on their radio program in the future. Orville Schell, dean of the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism (which offers a course on blogs), who will be interviewing Copps just asked where are the tv cameras at the hearing in Marin? Why isn't this considered news?

I'll have more on this in the next day or so. Until then bookmark mediareform.net.
