WASHINGTON, Sept. 23 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The U.S. media have hindered effective policy-making on immigration for decades, and their impact has been increasing in recent years as a result of an ongoing evolution in the media industry. Changes in the media landscape -- the advent of a 24-hour news cycle, the growing Latino media, and rise of conservative voices on cable TV news, are increasingly transforming the context of our nations political battles, and promoting stalemate on an issue that is inherently difficult to resolve. Immigration, a topic likely to resurface on the public agenda in 2009, will need to be addressed by the next administration and Congress.
On September 25, the Brookings Institution, in partnership with the Norman Lear Center at the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Southern California, will release a report examining the new medias role in the U.S. immigration debate, and explore how the media conditioned public opinion and the policy landscape.
Brookings Vice President and Director of Governance Studies Darrell West will provide introductory remarks. Authors E.J. Dionne Jr., senior fellow at Brookings; Roberto Suro of the USC Annenberg School; and Banu Akdenizli of the Project for Excellence in Journalism will present their findings. A panel discussion, moderated by Harvard Universitys Marvin Kalb, will follow.
Registration opens at 1:30 p.m. The event starts promptly at 2:00 p.m.

Sounds like we're fixing to get blitzed with propaganda.
