Our media systems are in crisis. Run by unaccountable corporations and
dominated by agendas and algorithms that are shrouded in mystery, these
formerly trusted sources of information and entertainment have lost
their way. As consumers, we have plenty of choice, but as citizens we
have an abundance of misinformation and misrepresentation.
In this incisive manifesto, four prominent media scholars and activists
put forth a roadmap for radical reform of concentrated media power. They
argue that we should put media justice, economic democracy and social
equality at the heart of our scholarship and our campaigning.
The Media Manifesto delivers a sharp analysis of our communications
crisis and a passionate call for urgent change. It provides resources of
hope for media reform movements across the globe.
