Description
Summary:In October 1998, the Pacific Centre for Alternative Journalists convened its founding conference in Vancouver. The 60 participants represented a spectrum of media activists-from community radio, the student, feminist and Central American solidarity press, Latin American, labor and community television alliances, community-based electronic nets, assorted "culture jammers"-as well as social justice activists from the anti-poverty, student, aboriginal, environmental, and anti-free trade movements. This article is based on my presentation to the opening plenary, which was called "What makes alternative media valuable to the communities it serves?"
