DAY ONE
Radical Media Then & Now: Keynote, Screening, and Panel Discussion
Keynote by Malkia Cyril, executive director of Center for Media Justice 
Friday, February 10, 2012, 6:30 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.

“The power of mass culture rests on the trust of the public. This legitimacy is a paper tiger.” –PTTV Manifesto

The public access movement took root at a moment of maximum disillusionment with network television, generating hope that cable would offer a genuine alternative to the vast TV wasteland. Over the last 30 years, the accessibility of public access TV centers has significantly declined, while for-profit corporate media has tightened its stronghold over the media landscape—consolidating from 50 into 5 companies that control 90% of the public’s media consumption. 

Yet, with the proliferation of consumer grade production equipment, Internet distribution platforms, social media, crowd sourcing, online video, live streaming, wireless technology, today’s media environment is rife with opportunities for innovation and collaboration. Still, from the digital divide, to online filter bubbles, to the echo chamber of social (distribution of mass) media, to SOPA and Net Neutrality, an analysis of how these developments are used coupled with the threats coming from the policy level reveals that even these seemingly promising trends are nuanced.

Given these developments, what does a vibrant, radical media look like, how could it function? What lessons can we apply from Paper Tiger’s innovative media activism? How can we use media strategically and creatively in the pursuit of social justice?

KEYNOTE
Malkia Cyril, executive director of Center for Media Justice
