ITEM OVERVIEW
A unique collaboration of over 100 media organizations, critics and activists—Mark Crispin Miller, Leslie Savan, Jim Hightower, Ben Bagdikian, and Tom Tomorrow, amongst them—We The Media is filled with up to the minute facts, figures, and commentary on the state of the media today. In irreverent and informative sections on ownership, commercialization, contact, and access, the book makes plain the real dangers of increasing media concentration and highlights efforts throughout the country to combat it. From conglomerate ownership, to advertising, the Telecommunications Act, to easy-to-use materials for creating local, independent media, there is more than something here for everyone.
