IMPACT facilitates a discussion on:
Media In Our Era
Sunday, November 18th, 3 - 5 pm
MayDay Bookstore, 301 Cedar Ave
Cedar-Riverside Neighborhood, Mpls
Robert McChesney, cofounder of FreePress.net and communications professor, spoke in Minneapolis on November 3rd. Professor McChesney spoke about large corporations' current repeat attempt to loosen the rules and further consolidate media ownership.
IMPACT organizer Eric Angell will play a segment of the McChesney speech and also facilitate a discussion on media today. The discussion will center on alternative journalism, the role of citizen journalism and the growing use of the internet to inform communities.
ALSO: Know of a great website, book or video resource that has enlightened YOU or empowered YOU to take action for people or the planet? Project IMPACT continues to identify resources helpful in addressing the roots of the myriad issues we face. Bring your experience and ideas. We will create a guide, to be available online, for locals to quickly find works which effectively analyze our world, and, inspire us to action.
Snacks provided!
