SYSTEMATICALLY DISTORTED INFORMATION
2004 no. 51
There’s a hole in your head. But don’t worry . . .
Underneath the mega media mergers a grassroots movement has taken root. Some people call it “mental environmentalism,” or “media democracy,” but whatever you call it, the push to put democracy back into the media is about to surface. Two catalytic events – in Madison, Wisconsin, and Geneva, Switzerland – represent the initial salvos in this emerging battle. And Adbusters will be there, holding the Media Carta. We want access to our airwaves, and a new human right enshrined: the Right to Communicate.
