As U.S. President Elect Barak Obama will hear several proposals after the Jan. 20 inauguration including …And Communication for all: a Communication Policy Agenda for the New Administration. The agenda, created by U.S. professors, aims to push toward a move from business models to democracy.
The agenda addresses focus areas such as frameworks, wireless and cable industries, broadband access, infrastructure and content media. The agenda was presented during a discussion panel at the National Communication Association 94th Annual Convention Nov. 22, 2008.
“In the 21st century there is a theme – a policy of universal service through broadband, said Jorge Schement, Rutgers University professor of Communication; Library and Information Science at the Dean's Office and Information Technology during the convention.
Schement discussed social challenges to the United States as an information society, and suggested an underlying social contract be implemented. Libraries and newspapers are closing, and if no effective media exists then no effective democracy exists, he said.
Nancy Kranich, spokesperson for the American Library Association suggested a library e-transit government e-service model based on the 1996 Universal Service E-rate Program that improved access to information. The program advocates for wide-spread broadband access.
“If you take access for granted the issue goes from affordability to value,” she said.
Kathryn Montgomery professor at the American University Communication Division, discussed Digital Marketing Ecosystem platforms that lead to behavioral profiling of youth in media culture. Platforms include engagement, peer-to-peer, personalization, ubiquitous connectivity and immersion.
At the November 2008 convention, panel participants sought to appeal the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission. The FCC accesses rules every four years.
