Conference Goals:
The fight for media democracy will not be won by academics, or lobbyists, or people representing one race, class or gender working separately. In order to realize real change in the control and access to media, grassroots leadership is needed from diverse constituencies who understand that access and fair representation in the media is essential for realizing victories in social justice.
Since 2004 the Grassroots Media Conferences have convened thousands for a weekend of workshops, skills-sharing, dialogue, debate and strategizing sessions about media making, media policy and how to use media to forward social justice campaigns.
The 2005 NYC Grassroots Media Conference is sponsored by New School University Graduate Program in Media Studies, and supported by a grant from Citizens for NYC.
