ACTION ALERT
Ensure fairness for Mumia Abu-Jamal on NBC's Today Show
Published Nov 29, 2007 12:52 AM
On Dec. 6, NBC’s “The Today Show” intends to air a show
about Michael Smerconish and Maureen Faulkner’s new book “Murdered
By Mumia.” According to the announcement on Michael Smerconish’s
website, the show is planning to feature both Smerconish and Faulkner as
guests.
The International Concerned Family and Friends of Mumia Abu-Jamal
(FreeMumia.com), Journalists for Mumia (Abu-Jamal-News.com), and Educators for
Mumia (EmajOnline.com) have initiated a media-activist campaign urging people
to write “The Today Show” at today@msnbc.com asking them to fairly
present both sides of the Mumia Abu-Jamal/Daniel Faulkner case, by also
featuring as guests,Linn Washington, Jr. (Philadelphia Tribune columnist and
Associate Professor of Journalism at Temple University) and Dr. Suzanne Ross
(Clinical Psychologist and Co-Chair of the Free Mumia Abu-Jamal Coalition,
NYC).
A sample letter accompanied by an extensive informational press pack [both
available at www.millions4mumia.org—eds.] has been created to use for
contacting “The Today Show.” Please take a minute and contact them
to ensure fair media coverage of this controversial and important case.
Sincerely,
The International Concerned Family and Friends of Mumia Abu-Jamal Journalists for Mumia Abu-Jamal Educators for Mumia Abu-Jamal
