BIG MEDIA, Little Democracy
UnCommon Sense TV - “BIG MEDIA, Little Democracy” This program is the first in an updated series on the ongoing developments in national media policy and the very real world corrosive effects those policies are having on the ability of our democratic system to function. Using research provided by Dr. Jerry Starr, author and Executive Director of Citizens for Independent Public Broadcasting, the program presents a clear picture of how a handful of large scale multi-national corporations are acquiring control over nearly the entire nation’s media assets, and what effect that is having on their role in our society and on our political system.
Also featured is a special presentation of the first annual “Big Media Hall of Shame” inductee awards ceremony, presented by Free Press at the National Conference on Media Reform Conference (you’ll have to watch it to find out who wins).
