Mainstream media and conventional news outlets fail to explore the contradictions in American society. The power of corporations to defeat deeply popular economic and social policies is predictably and consistently ignored by the nation’s major newspapers and electronic media. On issue after issue, these media organizations have inherent conflicts of interest on the stories they report on depriving readers, viewers and listeners of critical views and "outside the box" visions on how we can build a more just world.
Independent, progressive radio programs like Between The Lines, and a handful of other media outlets play a vital role filling a vacuum in our democracy, where the free flow of information and alternative viewpoints are the lifeblood of an informed electorate and a functioning democracy.
"The Crisis in U.S. Journalism and the Future of Independent Media and Democracy," features an impressive list of progressive activists, journalists and scholars. Please consider making a contribution of any amount to help ensure that Between The Lines continues to produce their show with its timely, in-depth progressive news and analysis in the critical years ahead where nothing less than the very future of our democracy is at stake.
