Occupy KC - Occupy Wall Street
David Barsamian - Deported From "World's Largest Democracy"
Coming up next on Tell Somebody, Robert McChesney joins me again on a pledge drive edition of the show. McChesney is the Gutsgell Endowed Professor in the Department of Communications at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and is a co-founder of Free Press (http://www.freepress.net/). McChesney will help me ask for your support of KKFI, your community radio station, and will talk about the new paperback edition of The Death and Life of American Journalism - The Media Revolution that will begin the World Again, the book he co-authored with Nation Magazine Washington correspondent John Nichols. Death and Life is now updated with two new chapters, and if you call 888-931-0901 with a credit card pledge of $60 or more during the show this Tuesday between 6 and 7pm Central Time, you can have your own copy as a thank-you gift.
As Professor Robert McChesney put it, “ I think at this point the idea that American journalism is in a deep, profound and existential crisis is almost passe. I think what is less well understood is that such a collapse of journalism is also a crisis for democracy. Self government cannot work without an informed citizenry, and that can’t work without journalism.”
Mark your calendar- Tell Somebody this Tuesday, October 11, 2011 at 6pm on 90.1 FM KKFI.
