Media Indepdendence CEO Howard Blumenthal live with talk radio host Leontyne Anglin Wed. April 29

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) April 27, 2009 --

Media Independence (MiND) CEO Howard Blumenthal discusses this new multi-platform television and internet channel which emphasizes learning, social awareness, and a hands-on approach to media. "I'm thrilled for the opportunity to speak one-on-one with Howard and do whatever I can to help spread the word," said Anglin. "The concept behind MiND was created for people like myself who have grown weary of thoughtless programming and seek venues to have quality stories told." Listeners can dial into the show live on April 29 at 6:00 pm EST at (347) 633-9591 or access the show via flash player at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/beyondexp.

MiND's agenda is set by the community, not by unseen program executives or corporate owners. It is truly TV by the people and for the people. By providing access to individuals, non-profit organizations, and businesses, MiND is reinventing television.
"I implemented a great deal of what I learned at their workshops on my latest film, 18 and Out," said Anglin, "and even met the director and other producer at their events with whom I would ultimately collaborate on the project."

“MiND provides a forum on television for more voices, and is a place where anyone can share their knowledge on television so that we can learn from one another,” said Blumenthal.” “18 & Out is a great example of what MiND does best, since I was not aware of the issues discussed in the program, and it is a story that needed to be told.”

Crucial funding cuts threaten public television in Philadelphia, and we'll talk about what people can do to help save this important community-based media outlet. www.mindtv.org/advocate.

In addition to serving as MiND CEO, Blumenthal is the author of more than twenty books, and produced the Peabody and Emmy award-winning PBS children's series "Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?" game show. He has also served as producer for HBO Family, Nickelodeon, Universal syndication, Food Network, History Channel, Cinemax, and TV Land.

"Sometimes it takes visionaries to step forward and go against the grain. That's exactly what Howard has done with MiND," said Anglin. "You can say so much, do so much and learn so much within the span of 5 minutes. The concept takes a while to sink in initially but once the light goes on, you really can see the infinite possibilities of community-driven media."
