Whether you buy that last claim depends on whether you believe commercial broadcasters are motivated to serve listeners or just to make money. We're real concerned about interference problems from that. Today, Thursday, Feb. 17, at 2pm in UT's Hogg Auditorium, famed television journalist and UT alum Bill Moyers will be featured as part of the Texas Union's Distinguished Speakers series. Based on the excellent talk he and Walter Cronkite delivered at The Daily Texan 's 100th birthday bash last year, expect him to provide insightful commentary on how profit-driven corporate domination of the world's media is choking off meaningful analysis and debate of society's crucial issues. Anyone interested in truly understanding the media should attend.
Tickets are free.
