Restoring the Public Airwaves to New Yorkers

Storming the barricades . . . . . Taking back the airwaves

Is broadcasting out of touch with the values of mainstream Americans?

• Talk radio and cable TV are dominated by the religious and secular right.

• Insult radio rules.

• Mainstream religion is limited to walk-on appearances at Christmas and Easter.

• Public service is so private it no longer exists.

• Monopolistic station ownership limits the free flow of information essential to democracy and religious freedom.

As an important leader in shaping society and culture, the Church can help restore balance and civility to New York's airwaves. Join us for General Assembly XXIX of Tri-State Media Ministry.
