Beyond the Frame



Uploaded by: ChallengingMedia
Video Description:
http://www.mediaed.org
This DVD compilation offers a series of stand-alone interviews with some of the most prominent scholars, experts, and activists in political and social thought that critique mainstream media's coverage of the war on terrorism. This accessible format is designed to allow educators to bring the voices of these cultural analysts directly into their classrooms.
Launched in September 2001, Beyond the Frame is a series of interviews with leading scholars, experts, and activists offering alternative perspectives on the 9/11 tragedy and its aftermath. Originally a web-only project, the interviews were(and continue to be) available free of charge via streaming video through MEF's website. The project was a response to MEF's alarm at the dangerously restricted range of views presented by the mainstream media, largely confined to the opinions of political elites and a commercial frame dependent on advertisers and ratings.
Featuring some of the most prominent names in political and social thought, the site has been accessed to date by tens of thousands of people seeking alternatives to mainstream media coverage in a post-9/11 world. Created in response to educator requests, the DVD will allow these interviews to be shown in the classroom.
Featuring Interviews with: Seth Ackerman, Belquis Ahmadi, Joan Blades, Maliha Chishti, Noam Chomsky, Jo Commerford, Kevin Danaher, Cynthia Enloe, Henry Giroux, Janine Jackson, Robert Jensen, Sut Jhally, Darryl Kimball, Michael Kimmel, Mhahsa Khanbabai, Naomi Klein, Manning Marable, Mark Crispin Miller, Bernie Sanders, Ritu Sharma, Vandana Shiva, and Alisa Solomon.

I am dead set on challenging this myth of a liberal media in my on blog entitled "Geotheology"- it is a very big deal...this is a major and debilitating lie...a tool of the real enemy of mankind that is doing tremendous harm. The vids are excellent and to the point.

The media-culture ... ( 1 year ago by Euripides27)
The media-culture is feeding society in a way formal education cannot do. Since the average American cannot afford a college education, television and mainstream media become the repository of knowledge for the overworked, overstressed, underpaid American citizen. What North American society needs desperately is to learn how to engage in critical thinking; it needs to learn how to deconstruct its media and systems of government.

Euripides27,
I could not have said it better myself... I was even thinking of creating a web site to deconstruct what the media tells us and what our leaders are ACTUALLY saying...
Part of the problem ... ( 1 year ago by lathzz)
Part of the problem is that most of the later-middle aged to older people are still largely the voice of the nation. Many(but not all)of these people still rely on the conventional mass media for information and consequent decision making. Typically younger people, who may rely on less biased forms of information gathering like the web(depending on their filtering skills),are not yet as influential in society but may be in fact more well informed than their elders.

this is evident in the "trust the government" 1950's mentality type typical in the older subsets of the population.

Kenyon~man, why did you take this job? Your editing is great - but this movie is for those who already know what they're hearing - you know? It would be great if work like this in reality changed anything - but it's just sad, instead. I would rather watch a jackal eat live worms after jumping into the Mississippi river. America deserves better than this creaky robot.

"leftards" - this ... ( 6 months ago by bestinhouse)
"leftards" - this comment by darski2007 is typical of right wing attacks - there is merely a puff of hatred and ridicule, yet no reasoned response or counterargument to what is presented - it is, in essence, nothing more than a diversion to the weak minded, in the hope that those who follow will look away, not wanted to be associated with the "leftards". I suggest instead, ye who follow here, that you listen to these people and hear their thoughts - think and judge for yourselves.
