True Visionary |

PBS President Paula Kerger tweeted, "Thinking of Jim Fellows--a visionary of Public Television--who passed away this weekend. A truly great man."
As NAPT Founding Executive Director Frank Blythe remembered, "Jim was always behind the National Minority Consortia (NMC). He will truly be missed."
 Nationally recognized for his contributions to Public Television including the presidencies of two Public Television and Radio organizations for more than 40 years, Jim Fellows passed away at the age of 77 on Friday, January 6, from a long-time battle with Parkinson's disease and complications from injuries sustained in a near-fatal car crash in 2003. A funeral and burial service will be held this spring in Rensselaer, New York, at his boyhood family church. A memorial service is also being planned for Washington, D.C., in the spring.

The Center for Media Justice's
Executive Director Featured in the
San Francisco Chronicle |
|
 Malika Cyril is the founder and executive director of the Center for Media Justice, which works to connect poor communities to information and representation in the media. Cyril, the daughter of Black Panther Janet Cyril, was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Her mother ran a newspaper in New York and the New York Black Panther breakfast program. Cyril commented, "As a Black Panther, my mother instilled in me the dedication to public service, but more than that, she instilled in me the belief that cultural change precedes political change."
In recent years, the Oakland-based Center for Media Justice has pushed policies to better serve disadvantaged communities so they have access to media through affordable broadband and local media that directly serve the community.
