We will consider the state of national media, e.g., coverage of President Biden's prime time speech of September 1, as well as work on our LAI items.

We will consider actions to promote media fairness, accuracy, and access.

Motivation: Everything our study groups are working on can be blocked or distorted by inaccuracy, bias, inaccessibility, or omission in transmission by media. Media are the lifeblood of our community as a city, a state, a nation, and a planet.
