WASHINGTON, DC – Today a bill to expand community radio nationwide – the Local Community Radio Act – passed the U.S. Senate, thanks to the bipartisan leadership of Senators Maria Cantwell (D-WA) and John McCain (R-AZ). This follows Friday afternoon’s passage of the bill in the House of Representatives, led by Representatives Mike Doyle (D-PA) and Lee Terry (R-NE). The bill now awaits the President's signature.
Baltimore's Indypendent Reader has two amazing reasons to celebrate. Firstly, we are releasing our first national issue. This issue documents The City from Below Conference. The conference took place right here in Baltimore during the weekend of March 27-29, 2009. As sponsors, we were much more than simply delighted when The City from Below Conference turned out to be an incredible success!
