merrie says: * Media change of all kinds must expose and directly confront the mechanics of structural racism and systemic oppression. * Leaders from historically marginalized communities must be developed as effective media activists and strategic movement communicators. * Media policy advocacy and strategic communications are more effective when clearly relevant to the primary justice issues of the movement for racial justice, economic and gender equity, and youth rights. * Compelling communications and media activism campaigns must be both rooted in critical issues and coordinated across issue, sector, and region for national impact. * When justice sectors strengthen communications strategies, center the use of culture as a communications tool, employ winning frames and messages, and strengthen their influence over media rules and rights, the possibilities for transformative change skyrocket. “Transformative change” = a media landscape purged of the Right’s most powerful voices. The White House communications shop gives two thumbs up, no doubt. I think this issue has already been covered in the Constitution but I could be wrong. But I believe there was something penned by the founding fathers about freedom of speech and the press. Perhaps I am only imagining such a document actually existed. And what does freedom of speech and the press actually mean anyway? Naw freedom could not mean freedom from government intervention and control could it? |
