NAMAC Policy News Roundup
Each month, NAMAC will look back at the last few weeks for a quick overview of some of the stories we've been watching. We hope you'll find them interesting, too.
September started off with a bang as the Department of Justice moved to block the AT&T / T-Mobile merger.
Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Association
NAMAC's Policy Strategist Belinda Rawlins reports on Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Association.
Oxygen-Deprivation Politics

Media Justice and Media Reform
In the last issue of MAIN, NAMAC co-director Helen De Michiel covered the National Conference for Media Reform, organized by Free Press in St. Louis this past May. After discussing the various clarion calls sounded at the conference, she observed that NAMAC’s own constituency seemed sparsely represented among the participants. She emphasized the imperative for NAMAC members to get involved in the burgeoning campaigns for media reform and media justice.
