Radical Representation and Media Reform

In White Liberals, Glass Houses and the Black Radical Journalism Tradition, Jared A. Ball goes into what he sees as some of the faults of the Media Reform movement.

Particularly perking his gaze is the movement's failure to advocate for the representation of contemporary radical views, especially African American latter day radicals.

While the problems of the movement are not always understood by some of its well meaning participants, the call for a balanced collaboration is one that must be taken on if our movement is to truely gain the respect and involvement of all sectors of society.
