NO MEDIA

Graham Woods | 27.05.2006 15:59 | Culture | Education | Globalisation | Birmingham | World

Between the 21st June 2006 and 4th July 2006 a brave few will eschew all media consumption in an effort to give their eyes and ears a break from the relentless jabbering of the mass media.



After reading a book called The Televisionary Oracle by American writer Rob Brezsny I was inspired to take up one of the suggestions made.

No internet for two weeks.
No television for two weeks.
No newspapers for two weeks.
No radio for two weeks.
NOMEDIA for two weeks.

If you think you're up to it then sign up and give yourself a well-deserved holiday.

I have asked the participants to keep diaries/logs of their two weeks and I hope to pull them into an article/page etc. Not sure of the final plan yet. Any other pledgees are welcome!
