THIS CONFERENCE IS FOR YOU!

The Rebellious Media Conference, a major event to take place in Central London on 8-9 October 2011, is being organised by a committee that includes Peace News, Ceasefire magazine, New Internationalist, Red Pepper, Undercurrents and visionOntv.

This gathering will have three main purposes:

to showcase inspiring examples of radical media practice;

to further develop radical critiques of the mainstream media;

to enable activists, journalists and students to engage in training and skillsharing.

The Rebellious Media Conference (RMC) is also:

an opportunity for dialogue between radical media and mainstream media;

for radical media groups to come together to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing us, particularly in relation to the digital revolution.

The intention is to capture as much as possible of the RMC and to make it available on the web, and for there to be ongoing projects coming out of the RMC.
