Redefining Media: Media Democracy and Community Radio
A CKUT 20th Anniversary Event
Co-sponsored by Media
@McGill
In celebration of Media Democracy Day on October 18th, CKUT hosted its
first annual media conference from October 19th to 21st, 2007. The goal
of this conference was to provide participants with a critical
understanding of media democracy, diversity and representation in the
media. It will focus primarily on community radio and the ways in which
it can be used to provide the public with clear, accurate, and
representational viewpoints and information, while actively combating
stereotyping according to race, gender, ethnicity and other factors.
