• Wgts Seeking to Buy Itself

Friends of local Christian radio station WGTS-FM (91.9) are working to come up with $25 million in hopes of buying the Takoma Park outlet from Columbia Union College. The college, an affiliate of the Silver Spring-based Seventh-day Adventist Church, last month yielded to community pressure and ended negotiations with American Public Media Group, the parent company of Minnesota Public Radio, which made a multimillion-dollar bid for WGTS earlier this year.

• Protect Public Participation in Public Policy Debates

CHICAGO, June 6, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The American Civil Liberties Union and a group of prominent media organizations have asked the Illinois Supreme Court to uphold a 2007 state law that permits ordinary citizens to speak out on questions of public policy without fear of expensive, lengthy, retaliatory lawsuits brought by the subjects of their speech.
