The third National Conference for Media Reform is set for Jan. 12 - 14, 2007
in Memphis, Tennessee. The event will be an exciting, inspiring three-day
gathering for people who are concerned about the state of our media and
committed to working for change. The conference will convene more than 2,000
activists, educators, media makers, journalists, policymakers and concerned
citizens to discuss how to create a better media system.

In order to maximize the range of voices represented at the conference, Free
Press is offering a limited number of travel scholarships and registration
fee waivers to offset attendance costs for individuals who would otherwise
be unable to attend.

Please go to http://www.freepress.net/conference/=Scholarships07 for more
information and to apply. *The scholarship application deadline is November
6, 2006.* Those without Internet access may call 1-877-888-1533, ext 27 to
make alternate arrangements to submit an application off-line.

Free Press is committed to supporting increased participation by people from
constituencies traditionally under-represented in media policy work,
particularly people of color, youth and grassroots organizers. We also seek
broad geographic representation. We will prioritize scholarship applications
from individuals who contribute to the diversity of conference participants.


The National Conference for Media Reform will present ideas and strategies
for winning the fight for better media and connect you with thousands of
media reformers from across the nation. Whether you have been a media reform
activist for years or are new to the movement, all are welcome.
