Abernathy to Highlight Public Interest

Commissioner Kathleen Abernathy has begun a “News You Can Use” information campaign. Periodically, the commissioner will focus on a public interest issue relating to communication policy and will feature it in her speeches and on her Web site.
“I want to make sure that we at the FCC are paying attention to issues that make a difference in people’s lives outside the beltway,” Commissioner Abernathy said. “Looking after the public interest is an important part of the Commission’s mission,” she stated, adding that she intends to make that task a priority during her tenure at the FCC.
