Everett C. Parker Ethics in Telecommunications Lecture

September 30, 2009
3:30 pm
The Riverside Church
New York City
www.ucc.org/media-justice/parker-lecture/

2009 honorees will be:

Patti Miller, vice president of public policy at Sesame Workshop
Sam Simon, a fellow at Intersections International, chair of Amplify Public Affairs and founder/former president of TRAC
Ben Popken and Meghann Marco, co-executive editors of The Consumerist

The 2009 lecturer will be the Rev. Michael Kinnamon, general secretary of the National Council of Churches, who will reflect on the 50-year history of religious involvement in media issues.

Although the annual event has been held in Washington, D.C. in recent years, the principal reasons for moving the event to New York this year are two-fold: First, UCC wanted to make it more accessible for Dr. Parker to be able to attend our 50-year celebration of his media justice ministry and, second, UCC thought it would be nice to hold the event in the city where the Office of Communication, Inc. was founded by Dr. Parker in 1959 and where the UCC was headquartered for more than three decades.
