This clip is based on an interview by Amy Goodman with Adrian Maree Brown on Ruckus Society on Media Justice (Aug. 2008) Brown's response is basically the idea that media justice is when people can take media into their own hands, everyone has access to communicating their message and access to communicating their stories and hearing their stories. For us, alot of it is about not just being ina place of information, right, which is wonderful - we want to have as much information as possible - but for those of us who are in a disenfranchised or disempowered communities, it's about transformative media, beinig able to actually send messages in a way that changes the way people percieve stuff and helps to empower our communities. Ther term was coined five years ago at the Highlander Center in Tennessee.
