Event at the New School 4/16
FAIR invites you to a New York City event:
THE PROBLEM OF THE MEDIA:
U.S. COMMUNICATION POLITICS IN THE 21ST CENTURY
Friday, April 16, 6:30pm, Free admission
The New School, 66 West 12th Street, Wollman Hall
With Robert W. McChesney and Mark Crispin Miller
The symptoms of the crisis of the U.S. media are well-known: a decline in hard news, the growth of info-tainment and advertorials, staff cuts and concentration of ownership, increasing conformity of viewpoint and suppression of genuine debate. McChesney's new book, The Problem of the Media (Monthly Review Press), gets to the roots of this crisis, explains it, and points a way forward for the growing media reform movement.
Introduced by Mark Crispin Miller, Robert W. McChesney will discuss his new book, followed by a question and answer session and book signing. This event is co-sponsored by Monthly Review Press, FAIR, Seven Stories Press, The New Press, and the Wolfson Center for National Affairs at The New School. For further information, call Monthly Review Press: 212.691.2555 or visit www.mediaproblem.org.
