<p class="body">Have you ever wanted to talk back to Big
Media? </p>
<p class="body">Well now's your chance. Sumner Redstone,
the Chairman of Viacom
Inc. and CBS, will be speaking publicly in Boston on Tuesday. He
needs to hear from you. </p>
<p class="body"><b>What: </b> A Conversation with Sumner
Redstone <br>
<b>When: </b> Tuesday, Sep. 18, 2007, 4:30 p.m. <br>
(Doors open
at 4 p.m.)<br>
<b>Where:</b> Boston University School of Law, <br>
765
Commonwealth Ave.<br>
<b>RSVP:</b> <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="mailto:lawevent@bu.edu">lawevent@bu.edu</a> or 617-353-8011<br>
</p>
<p class="body">We need you and other Boston activists to
get Redstone on the
record about how media consolidation impacts America. </p>
<p class="body" align="center"><a
href="http://action.freepress.net/ct/x7NrYB61JQkB/"><b>Click
here to download <br>
a sign to hold up at the event</b></a> </p>
<p class="body">At a similar event in 2001, Redstone was
asked: "Why do you
think the conglomeration of so much media is a good thing for
America?" </p>
<p class="body">His answer: "I'm not sure it's a good thing
for America. It's a
good thing for Viacom." </p>
<p class="body">We need to get Redstone on the record again
in Boston. Here are
four sample questions you could ask: </p>
<p class="body"><b>On Democracy:</b> You have said that you
didn't know whether
media consolidation was good for America, but that it was good
for Viacom. Do you put Viacom's interests before those of our
democracy? </p>
<p class="body"><b>On Diversity:</b> How can we create a
more diverse and
democratic media when media consolidation pushes minority owners
off the airwaves and minority viewpoints out of the mainstream? </p>
<p class="body"><b>On Public Interest:</b> Since the people
own the airwaves
that your company profits from, what is Viacom doing to better
serve the public interest? </p>
<p class="body"><b>On Localism: </b>Media consolidation
has consistently led to
less coverage of local issues and local communities. As Viacom
and other giants keep consolidating, where can people turn for
the information they need? </p>
<p class="body">Try to bring a video camera and get
Redstone's answer on tape. </p>
<p class="body">After the event, visit the newly launched <a
href="http://action.freepress.net/ct/xdNrYB61JQkc/">Free Press Action
Network</a> to let us know what happened. At the Action Network,
you can log on to the site, create your own blog post and share
information with a community of media reformers. </p>
