Dear media junkies:
MediaCulture Review, the Institute for Alternative Journalism's biweekly media, technology and culture compendium, has moved to:
http://www.mediademocracy.org/MediaCultureReview
From this site, prepare to read in-depth, cutting-edge features, commentary and criticism culled from the best the independent press has to offer.
Our latest issue features:- MCRaves, highlighting the best media criticism and analysis online. This week: an excerpt from Jerry Landay's "Whose First Amendment Is It, Anyway?", on the corporate Mediacracy's abuse of power; and Rocky Mountain Media Watch's latest report on the pundit gender gap in print media.- Cyberculture, defining the virtual landscape, now links to Cyber Freedom, a section of "Democracy Works" (http://www.democracyworks.org) featuring articles on First Amendment rights and other Internet-related issues.- Mediascene, keeping you up on the breaking developments in the media industry. This issue: Rupert Murdoch is at it again! Also: Frank Beacham's Questioning Technology lends advice to cope with pagers and cell phones that keep you perpetually "on call."- J-School Blues, geared toward college students and aspiring journalists, offers helpful hints on coping with the student life, and provides a heads-up on what you can expect from the job market when you get that degree. Chip Rowe gives us a peek into the 'zine scene and Sarah Nankin debunks the Gen X myth with the reality of Generation P(oor).
NEW! * The Ad Ad World, critiquing commercialism, with a word from Will Durst and details on the upcoming Counter-Advertising Awards.
MediaCulture Review also links to IAJ's Media & Democracy Congress site (http://www.mediademocracy.org/congress/), providing the latest details on our upcoming three-day media event, October 16-19 in New York City.
