ON MEDIA & COMMUNICATIONS

Rating: 5 of 5 - Must-listening! Project Censored

Shadows of Liberty — 07 May 2013 — Film producer Jean-Philippe Tremblay discusses his new film Shadows of Liberty, which explores how mainstream media has been captured by corporate interests, which have systematically suppressed investigative journalism. Several clips from the film are played, including pieces about the suppression of investigations into the likely friendly-fire downing of TWA flight 800 and Gary Webb's investigation of CIA involvement in drug trafficking in LA in the 1980s.

Communication, Power, and the Masters of the Word — 06 May 2013 — William Bernstein discusses the origin and composition of writing materials as well as where and how writing became common; how the rise of radio influenced the geopolitics of the 20th century and was used to propagandize the populace; how all emerging communications technology has generally been used by the elites to herd the masses; how fast-changing internet media are still a work in progress in terms of communications usefulness.

Rating: 5 of 5 - Must-listening! Democracy Now

How Capitalism Is Turning the Media Against Democracy — 05 Apr 2013 — Bob McChesney explains how concentration of media among a few giant corporations is radically changing the nature of news and information—and not for the better. ~~ Then a clip from the new documentary Shadows of Liberty covers cases of investigative journalists who have been muzzled by corporations and the government.
