This book is an anthology of work by critical media scholars, media 
makers, and activists who are committed to advancing social justice. 
Topics addressed include but are not limited to international media 
activist projects such as the Right to Communication movement and its 
corollaries; the importance of listening and enacting policies that 
advance democratic media; regional and local media justice projects; 
explorations of the challenges the era of participatory media pose to 
public media; youth and minority media projects and activism; ethical 
dilemmas posed by attempts to democratize access to media tools; the 
continued marginalization of feminist perspectives in international 
policy venues; software freedom and intellectual property rights; video 
activism in both historical and contemporary contexts; internet 
strategies for defending dissenting voices; and five accounts by 
prominent scholar/activists of their lifelong struggles....
