This handy booklet covers everything from hosting a media reform house party to filing comments on FCC rule changes. The Action Guide also includes comprehensive appendices with such topics as "10 Questions to Ask Every Candidate and Elected Official" and "Talking Points for a Presentation on Media Reform," in addition to a sample letter to the editor and a sample newspaper article. Look no further for ideas on how to impact media reform - it's all there!
Also visit the Center for Digital Democracy (www.democraticmedia.org), dedicated to "ensuring that the public interest is a fundamental part of the new digital communications landscape." The CDD site has myriad resources including an Activist Library, videos on topics ranging from net neutrality to media policy, and of course, a Get Involved page. Definitely worth a visit.
