National Media Reform Conference Reflections

The Ronald H. Brown Center for Civil Rights and Economic Development at St. John’s University School of Law received a $10,000 grant from the Ford Foundation’s Knowledge, Creativity and Freedom Program. The grant financed the travel of a delegation of media diversity experts to the National Media Reform Conference in Memphis, TN on January 12-14, 2007.
