Janine Jackson and Steve Rendall are this week's guests on McChesney's Media Matters
Having just celebrated its 20th anniversay of public activism, Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting (FAIR) is the focus of this week's Media Matters program. Janine Jackson (Program Director) and Steve Rendall (Senior Analyst) of FAIR will be host Bob McChesney's guests this week. A live audio stream will be accessible on the internet at 11 am Pacific Time, and the archived program should be available with past programs beginning tomorrow.
From the Media Matter's website:
Bob McChesney is a research professor in the Institute of Communications Research and the Graduate School of Information and Library Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
'The media are central to all our lives,” he says. “Yet the media are the most frequently misunderstood parts of our lives. We want to help people understand the role of media in society.'"
Today's Guests:
"Janine Jackson is FAIR's program director and a frequent contributor to FAIR's magazine, Extra!. She co-edited The FAIR Reader: An Extra! Review of Press and Politics in the '90s (Westview Press). And she co-hosts and produces FAIR's syndicated radio show, CounterSpin--a weekly program of media criticism airing on more than 130 stations around the country.
Jackson has testified to the Senate Communications Subcommittee on budget reauthorization for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. She has appeared on ABC's Nightline, NBC's Geraldo, and CNBC's Inside Business, among other outlets.
Jackson is a graduate of Sarah Lawrence College and has an M.A. in sociology from the New School for Social Research. In 1997 she married Jim Naureckas, the editor of Extra!. "
