Interview: Robert W. McChesney Is Working To Reclaim Our Free Press

We expect two or three thousand people in St. Louis. I would urge people who are thinking of coming to check out our conference web site. We’ve got some terrific people coming – Michael Copps and Jonathan Adelstein from the FCC, Jim Hightower, Laura Flanders, lots of members of Congress, Amy Goodman, George Lakoff, Naomi Klein, Al Franken. It’s a really extraordinary group of people very committed to having a free press and understanding how important it is to get to work on it. Also, just as we’ve been talking about, we'll address community wireless Internet access, government propaganda, media ownership – all these issues. That’s what makes this conference exciting, and it's why our first one held in Madison was so popular. We're exploring just how we can organize to change this system. It’s the greatest feeling in the world to be around people who are working together to change things for the better.
