Media Democracy Days coming up

October 12, 2011 Posted by workingdesign in Featured

Working Design is proud to once again sponsor the expanded Media Democracy Days. For the first time, the 10th annual edition will run over three days from Nov. 11-13 at the Vancouver Public Library with other events taking place at nearby venues.

Last year, Media Democracy Day drew together more than a thousand people in dialogue about the state of media in Canada and around the world. Two of this year’s key speakers are Judy Rebick, author and founder of Rabble.ca and Dr. Sut Jhally, professor and founder of the Media Education Foundation.

Panel discussions will include topics like unions and public opinion in a crisis economy, aboriginal uses of new media and the future of journalism.

The Sunday program will include hands-on media workshops.

Media Democracy Days’ mission is: Know the Media. Be the Media. Change the Media.
