Outfoxed - the war on journalism

IMCista | 10.07.2006 12:02 | G8 Russia 2006 | Culture | Globalisation | Indymedia | London

London indymedia film festival continues this evening on a 'media' theme...



with 'Outfoxed - Rupert Murdochs war On Journalism':

examines how media empires, led by Rupert Murdoch's Fox News, have been running a "race to the bottom" in television news. This film provides an in-depth look at Fox News and the dangers of ever-enlarging corporations taking control of the public's right to know.

The film explores Murdoch's burgeoning kingdom and the impact on society when a broad swath of media is controlled by one person.

Media experts, including Jeff Cohen (FAIR) Bob McChesney (Free Press), Chellie Pingree (Common Cause), Jeff Chester (Center for Digital Democracy) and David Brock (Media Matters) provide context and guidance for the story of Fox News and its effect on society.
