Tired of a media system that puts profits in front of the public interest? This Action Guide contains step-by-step instructions for media reform strategies that get results!

This 68-page booklet gives step-by-step instructions for media reform strategies that get results, from writing a Letter to the Editor to setting up meetings with legislators.

Introduction: For far too long, our media has been shaped by policies made behind our backs and without our interests in mind. Information about our media system isn’t in the press, and policymakers make crucial decisions about media behind closed doors.

This media system provides extraordinary profits and power to huge media corporations — and lets them shirk their responsibility to provide us with the quality journalism, diverse viewpoints, educational programs and public forums that democracy requires. They’d like to keep it that way.

But Americans increasingly understand how corrupt our media system is, and together we are starting to change it. Concerned people around the country are building an extraordinary movement to speak out and stand up for media reform.

This Action Guide was created to support the efforts of media reformers like you. Every action in this guide will help get your voice heard by the people who make the rules. And each action you take connects you to a growing rank of people who have the clout to transform the current media landscape.

There is much great work being done on many fronts — but still so much more to do. Armed with the will to speak up, we can build a better media system.
