Media Democracy Day
October 18, 2008 to October 19, 2008
Since 1996, there have been several efforts by concerned citizens and media activists to build coalitions to make the media more democratically accountable in the US as well as Canada. Throughout the years, many different groups have carried on the tradition of MD Day into the form it is today.
What is it?
A day of action based on three themes: 1) Education - understanding how the media shapes our world and our democracy; 2) Protest - against a media system based on commercialization and exclusiveness; 3) Change - calls for media reforms that respond to public interests, promote diversity, and ensure community representation and accountability.
Venue: Various
Location: Various Toronto, ON
