Driven by content from a network of more than 300 international media organizations and contributors, MediaChannel explores areas such as freedom of expression, citizen access to media, trends in media ownership, and the intersection of media and politics. The 'dumbing down' of news and trivializing of information is not just an American phenomenon, but a global one. Our mission is to involve site visitors as citizens first, to encourage more public involvement in improving the media order.
Corporate censorship is just as dangerous as government censorship.
We are creating an online action center for media critics, analysts, educators and journalists worldwide. OneWorld started up on the Internet to help meet the growing concerns of the NGO community and wider civil society that mainstream media fail to provide accurate, unbiased, accessible information about global justice issues. As citizens we rely on the media for a clear perspective of what is going on in the world and, too often, that is not what we are getting.
