On behalf of the Bureau and our very 6 hard-working partners on the Advisory Committee 7 on Diversity and Digital Empowerment, I'm 8 thrilled to welcome you to today's symposium. 9 This is a special day. It marks the 10 first time we've gathered luminaries from across 11 the broadcast industry to share their wit and 12 wisdom with us on what we can do to promote 13 broadcast diversity. 14 We're excited to have so many members 15 of the Advisory Committee here today and we look 16 forward to hearing from a very diverse group of 17 speakers. But given that today's agenda packs 18 about as many speakers and panels into one day as 19 is humanly possible, I'm going to waste no time 20 in turning things over to Chairman Pai, who will 21 kick off the day. 22 (Applause.) Neal R. Gross and Co., Inc. (202) 234-4433 Washington DC www.nealrgross.com 7 1 CHAIRMAN PAI: Well thank you so much, 2 Sarah. And good morning. Welcome to the FCC's 3 symposium on media diversity. Thanks to everyone 4 for coming. We have got a great day lined up for 5 you. But before I get to the program, a little 6 bit of history. 7 On my first full day as Chairman, a 8 little over two years ago, I spoke to the 9 Commission's terrific staff here in this very 10 room. And I said that my highest priority would 11 be bringing the benefits of the digital age to 12 all Americans regardless of race, or gender, or 13 religion, or sexual orientation, or anything 14 else. 15 And consistent with this pledge, I 16 moved quickly to recharter the agency's Advisory 17 Committee on Diversity and Digital Empowerment, a 18 committee that had gone dormant. And when it was 19 chartered in July of 2017, I charged this 20 important committee and its leaders with 21 developing real world solutions to spur diversity 22 and digital empowerment, especially in under- Neal R. Gross and Co., Inc. (202) 234-4433 Washington DC www.nealrgross.com 8 1 served communities across this country. 2 I asked them to bring recommendations 3 that could be quickly implemented in order to get 4 solutions to the public rapidly. And one of the 5 deliverables to come out of this Advisory 6 Committee is today's workshop. And boy, have 7 they ever delivered. 8 To start we've got a special guest, 9 NBC News White House Correspondent, Kristen 10 Welker, who will be giving the featured remarks 11 of this opening session. We've had politicians, 12 and journalists, and many other luminaries come 13 to this room. This is the first time we've ever 14 had a movie star, the star of Transformers 3, 15 here at the FCC. So thank you, Ms. Welker, for 16 being with us. 17 In addition to that we also have eight 18 all-star panels on tap. You're going to hear 19 from experts in broadcast radio, in television, 20 over the top content providers, finance, media 21 mergers and acquisitions, and groups that 22 specialize in training those who are interested Neal R. Gross and Co., Inc. (202) 234-4433 Washington DC www.nealrgross.com 9 1 in media employment and ownership. 2 Now building out eight panels takes a 3 lot of work. And that means that I have a lot of 4 people to thank. First I want to thank the 5 Advisory Committee's entire Broadcast Diversity 6 and Development Working Group for its great 7 planning efforts, and especially the chair of the 8 working group, the indefatigable former FCC 9 Commissioner, Henry Rivera. 10 (Applause.) 11 CHAIRMAN PAI: Henry and the working 12 group have done a fantastic job of putting 13 together a wonderful program in such a short 14 period of time, including several weeks when the 15 FCC staff was furloughed. So Henry and your 16 team, thank you for herding the cats so ably and 17 quickly. 18 Thanks also to Diane Sutter and Anna 19 Gomez, the Chair and the Vice Chair of the 20 Advisory Committee, for their outstanding 21 leadership. Thank you to all of the experts who 22 are going to be participating in today's panels, Neal R. Gross and Co., Inc. (202) 234-4433 Washington DC www.nealrgross.com 10 1 including the moderators for all of the advanced 2 preparation for today's event. 3 And thank you also to our team here at 4 the FCC, including the Media Bureau led by Chief 5 Michelle Carey, along with Deputy Chief Sarah 6 Whitesell, who you just heard from earlier; and 7 Industry and Analysis Chief Brendan Holland; the 8 designated Federal Officer, Jamila Bess Johnson, 9 and Deputy DFO, Brenda Villanueva; the Office of 10 Communications Business Opportunities led by 11 Sanford Williams, who's the Chief; and the many 12 other staff members who have worked extremely 13 hard to make this symposium a success. And 14 particularly those who enabled us to use this 15 commission meeting room today. 16 Finally, thanks to three of my 17 colleagues, Commissioners O'Rielly, and Carr, and 18 Starks, who are also here this morning, if not in 19 the room yet. Make no mistake, promoting 20 opportunities for women and minorities in 21 broadcasting is a bipartisan issue at the 22 Commission as evidenced by the presence of four Neal R.

SCHEDULING NOTE: In addition to the regular Tuesday classes, we are also holding time for a make-up lecture, should it be required due to scheduling changes, on Friday, November 3rd from 2-5p. Instructor Steve McMahon Details [email protected] or [email protected] 703-626-9943 c Office hours by appointment. Tuesdays prior to class are generally the best time to meet, although other times may be arranged. Please call my cell to schedule. Prerequisites N/A Class This class will examine the origins of public opinion research, as well as the impact it has on Description news coverage, political campaigns, public discourse, elected officials, and in many cases, public policy outcomes. You will learn how to read, analyze, and critically-evaluate public opinion research; you will learn about “leading” and “trailing” research indicators; and you will understand why “character” attributes often matter more than “performance” attributes and issue positions. You will see how political campaigns, lobbyists, public relations professionals and others leverage public opinion to impact perceptions, as well as political, policy and business outcomes. Because this course is being taught in the nation’s capital, where politics and policy converge, we will be able to hear from political professionals from both political parties, congressional staffers, journalists, and others who will share their insights about how they apply public opinion research to conduct campaigns, shape policy, report the news, or address business challenges. There is an existing and established core reading list for this course, which we will use as the foundational reading for the course.

But this time around, Nexstar is pointing the finger at the other side of the negotiating table. It has suedDirecTV in a NY federal court, claiming breach of contract. At issue is an “unlaunched station fee” that it says DirecTV agreed to pay for not being required to immediately launch Nexstar station WHAG (aka WDVM). The Hagerstown, MD, station lost its affiliation with NBC on July 1, 2016. “DirecTV now erroneously claims that its obligation to pay the unlaunched station fee depends on the station retaining its network affiliation. Nothing in the contract supports DirecTV’s wishful thinking,” Nexstar told the court. “Indeed, the contract plainly places the risk on DirecTV that the station might lose its network affiliation during the contract’s term.” Reached for comment, an AT&T spokesperson said, “While we hope to resolve this with Nexstar, we dispute their claims and plan to respond.” WHAG made retrans waves earlier this year, with Antietam Broadband losing it on Jan 1 (it remains off the provider’s lineup). DISH and Verizon Fios carry the channel, which offers local news for the area. Comcast carries the station in-market, but stopped carrying it out-of-market in March.

  • March 27, 2020 the Honorable Pat Cipollone White House Counsel
    March 27, 2020 The Honorable Pat Cipollone White House Counsel 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. Cipollone: Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (“CREW”) respectfully requests that you take all necessary steps to ensure that a “shadow task force” reportedly being used by Senior White House Advisor Jared Kushner to deal with the economic and health consequences of the coronavirus pandemic complies fully with all laws, including the Presidential Records Act (“PRA”) and the Federal Advisory Committee Act (“FACA”). Mr. Kushner’s shadow task force appears to be violating key aspects of the PRA, and his use of it implicates the FACA’s public transparency provisions. The extraordinary measures needed to combat the coronavirus pandemic make these transparency and accountability requirements even more important. According to recent press reports, Mr. Kushner has assembled a team of allies within the government and with representatives from private industries to work with the administration’s official coronavirus task force.1 Other officials involved in the administration’s response to the coronavirus have called this team a “shadow task force” that issues requests “they interpret as orders they must balance with regular response efforts.”2 Of particular concern, these outside advisers do not appear to be following proper governmental protocols. For example, they are using private email addresses to email large groups of government employees, creating security concerns and sowing further confusion.3 The PRA imposes on the President and his staff, including Mr. Kushner, the mandatory obligation to document, preserve, and maintain as presidential records “the activities, deliberations, decisions, and policies that reflect the performance of the President’s constitutional, statutory, or other official or ceremonial duties[.]”44 U.S.C.
