A panel discussion was held on independent media voices. Dennis Loy Johnson, the moderator, also talked about issues such as how the book Revolt on Goose Island (Melville House, 2009) evolved from a lack of news coverage of the incident by mainstream media. Topics included the Balkinization of the media, the proliferation of opinions rather than journalism, manifestations of establishment media such as embedded journalists, and the importance of Internet neutrality. The panelists also responded to questions from members of the audience.
