Community Media Zoom Drop-In – Media Personality and Character
Channel: Decentered Media
Date: 2022-08-02

This week at the Community Media Makers Zoom Drop-In, we’ll be chatting about how the focus on personalities and personas in media have a limiting and marginalising effect on social engagement. By focussing on a narrow type of persona, industrially produced media limits the way that we can express ourselves, solve problems and engage in discussion about the many challenges that climate crisis and the great disruption are forcing on us. Is conformity to a middleclass form of persona and reputation management denying people who might speak differently from contributing to media discussions about social change?
