>   The Social Science Research Council
> (http://www.ssrc.org), a distinguished non-profit
> that supports social science research in the public
> interest, has hired me as the program coordinator of
> their "Necessary Knowledge for a Democratic Public
> Sphere" program (http://www.ssrc.org/programs/media/
> ).  
>   My job will be to help bring together media reform
> advocates with media researchers so they can
> collaborate more effectively together.  There is
> apparently a huge need for better coordination and
> communication among activists and academics in the
> field of media reform.  Our main mechanism for
> facilitating this will be the launch next month of
> an online “Media Research Hub” that will support a
> broad community of media reform actors with various
> tools for collaboration and information sharing. 
>   It's a rather dramatic departure from my United
> Nations portfolio of the past 10 years or so. But I
> will remain engaged with international public policy
> issues, which is wonderful.  And I will get to work
> on cutting-edge stuff like the effect of the
> blogosphere on traditional media, broadband access
> to underserved areas, community wifi, low power FM,
> and lots of other cool new media areas.  
>   The good news is that we have the funding to
> support various activities such as sponsoring
> targeted research, supporting interns, and
> organizing physical meetings to link key actors. 
> But as a first step we are going to want to make
> sure that we are linking to the most relevant and
> active networks of media reform activists and
> academics. If you have suggestions for networks and
> coalitions that I should plug into, particularly
> outside of the US, that would be really helpful.
