Bad Thoughts this Wednesday: "Anti-Capitalism & The Media"

category dublin | miscellaneous | event notice author Tuesday October 21, 2003 00:46author by xweelerx Report this post to the editors

Bad Thoughts, this Wednesday October 22nd at 8.30pm

The Bad Thoughts discussion group comes together again this Wednesday at the slightly later time of 8.30.

This week's topic is "Anti-Capitalism and the Media"

The mass media these days is controlled by fewer & fewer people. All across the world there are media moguls such as Silvio Berlusconi or even closer to home the O'Reilly empire, who own radio & TV stations, newspapers, magazines, newswires, internet sites, etc.

Time and time again the mass media are content to only show 10-second snippets of media coverage from demonstrations where there may be some "newsworthy" content, i.e. a flashpoint or conflict. This is often depicted in a vacuum. How do we overcome this? Is there a way of making inroads into the mass media? Or is it up to us to create alternative media networks? Should we talk to the mass media at all? Are big demonstrations really just a spectacle?

All these questions and more will hopefully be addressed during the discussion.

Brian from the new website Anarchomedia will be present to give a short introduction to the talk, and we will hopefully have someone from Indymedia Ireland as well.

For more information contact Keith on 086 336 3743.
