Media Activists Join Forces to Preach Beyond the Choir

Editor's Note: The country's largest media reform conference, the National Conference on Media Reform 2011, was held in Boston on April 8-11, bringing together journalists, activists, educators and policy-makers. Over three days, more than 2,000 people explored the future of journalism and public media, considered how technology is changing the media landscape, looked at the policies and politics which shape media and discussed strategies to build a better media. Cartoonist Susie Cagle drew the event for Truthout.

Impact of the National Conference for Media Reform

We’re not going to stand for it. Are you?

You don’t bury your head in the sand. You know as well as we do what we’re facing as a country, as a people, and as a global community. Here at Truthout, we’re gearing up to meet these threats head on, but we need your support to do it: We must raise $50,000 to ensure we can keep publishing independent journalism that doesn’t shy away from difficult — and often dangerous — topics.

We can do this vital work because unlike most media, our journalism is free from government or corporate influence and censorship. But this is only sustainable if we have your support. If you like what you’re reading or just value what we do, will you take a few seconds to contribute to our work?
