English: Dear OURMedia:

 

Nick Couldry and I just published an article in The Conversation. Please distribute widely:

 

https://theconversation.com/why-the-media-is-a-key-dimension-of-global-inequality-69084

 

Nick and I are lead authors of the Media and Communication chapter of the International Panel on Social Progress (IPSP), an international initiative that has brought together approximately 250 scholars to examine the main issues in contemporary society in an attempt to formulate a diagnosis and clear a path toward more just communities (https://www.ipsp.org/). Chapter 13 on Media and Communication, written by a team of 14 international communication/media scholars and researchers, is a comprehensive diagnosis of media infrastructures vis a vis social progress and social justice (https://comment.ipsp.org/chapter/chapter-13-media-and-communications). The chapter ends with a ten-point action plan and a tool kit with specific actions for international organizations, civil society, and NGOs among other key actors.
