Vote for the Most Shameful Media Kingpin
Dear Media Reformer:

On April 18 in Las Vegas, Lowry Mays, chairman of radio giant Clear Channel Communications, will receive the broadcast industry's "Distinguished Service Award." This is the same Lowry Mays who has obliterated local news and music, buying up 1,200 radio stations and scrubbing homegrown artists from their playlists.

Sadly, Mays is not alone. He's one among a cast of media kingpins who have climbed the ladder of success by placing their own political and business interests ahead of the public good. Now's your chance to give these shameful men the recognition they deserve -- by voting for your top pick for the first annual Big Media Hall of Shame.
