Mapping Made Smiple, Now With Bonus UIFree Press is building a powerful nationwide movement to change media and technology policies, promote the public interest and strengthen democracy. Free Press advocates for universal and affordable Internet access, diverse media ownership, vibrant public media and quality journalism.
Why is Free Press needed? For far too long, government officials and corporations have made corrupt media policy behind closed doors. These policies have led to runaway media consolidation, which in turn has led to corporate control over our print media, our broadcasting stations, our radio dial and the Internet. If we want to change this dynamic, we must ensure the public has a seat at the table when media policies are made.
Free Press amplifies the public’s voice in two ways. Our staff in our Massachusetts office educates and mobilizes our 700,000 activists. Our members write letters to government and corporate leaders, meet with elected representatives, file comments at the Federal Communications Commission, attend public hearings and participate in targeted actions. Our team in our Washington office crafts policy proposals, conducts research, testifies before Congress and argues in court for policies that serve the public interest. This combination of grassroots engagement and policy advocacy is key to our success.
Free Press also runs the SavetheInternet.com coalition, which fights on behalf of millions of people to protect our Internet freedom.
Save the Internet has four goals for achieving Internet freedom. We are working for true Net Neutrality (wired and wireless), strong protections for mobile phone users, public use of the public airwaves and universal access to high-speed Internet.

There are great organizations and institutions making tremendous headway, but we need an industry-wide solution for educating the next generation of journalists.

is a program of the Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas at the University of Texas at Austin.
Since 1999, editors, producers, executives, and academics from around the country (and lately from around the world) have gathered in Austin every year (except 2000) to discuss the evolution of this new genre of journalism. The Symposium has been a small, but very intense conference that serves as a barometer for the state of Online Journalism.
On this site, we publish all the transcripts (and some video) of the past symposia, which involved the participation of Web sites for publications such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Times and The Chicago Tribune. Participants also have included MSNBC.com and AOL.com, and institutions such as Jupiter Research and ABC Interactive.
In 2003, the Symposium became international, attracting participants from Europe, Asia, and Latin America. In 2004, a second day was added and we went from an exclusively industry-oriented event, to an academic/research conference as well. Professors from several universities help in the blind review process for the selection of research papers that are submitted by graduate students and faculty from around the world and presented at the symposium.
