San Diego citizen journalism and media discussion forum

UCAN's affiliate New Media Rights is hosting a discussion forum on the future of media and journalism in San Diego. Join in on the discussion now!

The San Diego citizen journalism and media forum is intended to provide a place for the public to talk about the future of San Diego news media. As is happening around the country, traditional news media such as the San Diego Union-Tribune and local TV stations are reducing staff and losing their audiences, diminishing their roles in the community.

The question posed here is what do we want the future of news and journalism in San Diego to look like?

What are the new institutions that will provide quality regional & local media?

How can we organize to promote a new wave of quality journalism and news sources that serve our region?

You can comment on open discussions by visiting our forum.

There also will be regular blog postings here by Pete Fuentes, who has reported for Fox6 and is an expert on the region's journalisam and news world. You can comment on these blog posts. So let's get talking and create a bright future for our region.

San Diego Is A Prime Example Of Dangerous Media Consolidation

On March 21st, 2009 Anonymous (not verified) says:

More than 50% of the residents of the City of San Diego are registered Democrats, and county voter rolls are approaching those numbers as well.
Yet the vast majority of our locally broadcast talk shows lean toward the extreme right wing and our local media do not reflect anywhere near the political beliefs of the demographics they serve.

The "Fairness Doctrine" needs to be resurrected by the current Congress so malicious attacks by conservative talk show hosts do not go unchallenged.

And in the cable TV competition area, AT&T's U-Verse package offers the first real" head- to -head" competition to Cox Communications and Time Warner Cable we have ever had in San Diego.

Yet Cox's refusal to sell broadcasts of San Diego Padres games to AT&T is anti-competitive, and Congress and the Federal Communications Commission must fix a loophole in the Cable Act of 1992 immediately so San Diegans can have a real choice of cable tv providers.
