We ignore Mr. Moyers' warning at our own peril
11/13/08 21:21 Filed in: Media Reform
Bill Moyers, the father
of Media Reform, updates the cause. His warning is
nothing short of chilling. We are imperiled even
beyond what today's conditions bear out, if we don't
act. We must engage our fellow citizens. The citizen
activist needs to be reborn and amalgamate. There
shouldn't be any doubt that we have a lot of work to
do. Mr. Moyers' poignant words, "...as journalism
goes, so goes democracy...", beseeches us to act.
There are many Media Reform advocacy organizations
attacking the problem from several angles:
consolidation, diversity, public interest, etc., all
important and deserving attention and resources.
CeaseSPIN.org is pushing for a news quality rating
system. It is a novel approach that brings a new
weapon to the battle. We hope that you will donate to
CeaseSPIN.org to fund our assault on media's decline.
Listen to Mr. Moyers' update on the Media Reform
movement and when you have finished, remember that we
need your support and we need you to tell a friend to
learn about our advocacy and fund our cause. Thank
you.
...worthy
of a week long discussion?
