So many ads, so little diversity
Although it is unusual for me to post news other than what relates to my family, I found an interesting youtube video when I was searching for information on the possibility of a media writers strike. Even though today was very exciting when I got a call from "The Late Show with David Letterman," the fact that Ray and I have TICKETS to go to the show, (along with two Broadway shows!) that very show is one that may be affected if there is a writers strike. ouch. What will that mean? I don't know. I just hope there is a show on Monday night because we get to go!
Following some links, I saw the following: an entertaining excerpt from testimony given a year ago by Patric Verrone at an FCC hearing on media consolidation.
It makes you think about how we get our information and entertainment - a mere SIX corporations to take all that ad money, and crank out what they call a "homogenized" product. How can that possibly be a good thing?
