Cheshire County Democrats Book Club

We had a small, but very interesting meeting Tuesday night to discuss Fighting for Air: The Battle to Control America's Media, by Eric Klinenberg. Actually the book was pretty dry, but the information in it was absolutely frightening - about the extent to which American media has been consolidated and lost it's local content. We concluded that we should all be grateful for The Keene Sentinel, which is still locally owned and operated. We also agreed that we should be paying attention to the issue of "internet neutrality" and discuss it with Congressman Hodes when we have the opportunity.

For next month, we will be reading The Nine: Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court, by Jeffrey Tobin. We will met on Wednesday night, February 27th, upstairs at the Keene Public Library, at 6:30 PM.

Please join us.
