Editor's Note: The country's largest media reform conference, the National Conference on Media Reform 2011, was held in Boston on April 8-11, bringing together journalists, activists, educators and policy-makers.
Over three days, more than 2,000 people explored the future of journalism and public media, considered how technology is changing the media landscape, looked at the policies and politics which shape media and discussed strategies to build a better media.
Cartoonist Susie Cagle drew the event for Truthout.

The future of independent journalism is uncertain, and the consequences of losing it are too grave to ignore. To ensure Truthout remains safe, strong, and free, we need to raise $46,000 in the next 7 days. Every dollar raised goes directly toward the costs of producing news you can trust.
Please give what you can — because by supporting us with a tax-deductible donation, you’re not just preserving a source of news, you’re helping to safeguard what’s left of our democracy.
