The project aims to raise awareness about the influences shaping today's media coverage and to improve understanding of the media's role in American society by examining media from a critical, independent perspective. The multi-platform campaign will include original programming, a high profile panel discussion, a new website and a series of town hall meetings. There are many ways YOU can get involved in this initiative. 1. Watch the documentary series. IT BEGINS TONIGHT! IFC tv will premiere a six-part IFC original documentary series, named IFC Media Project, starting Tuesday, November 18. Hosted by Peabody and Emmy Award-winning news correspondent Gideon Yago (CBS News, MTV), the series will air on IFC tv at 8 PM ET on Tuesday nights, through December 23. Part one is about News Fixations and Taboos. Subsequent episodes discuss The Frontlines of Journalism, Dumbing it Down, Unreliable Sources, The Anatomy of a Story, and The Future of News"...etc. Set that Tivo! ;-) Hi Sandra, I’m sure you already know about NAMLE’s campaign and the http://www.ifc.com 6-part series that launches tonight, but if not, here’s a blurb: “The National Association for Media Literacy Education (NAMLE) is partnering with the Independent Film Channel on an outreach initiative called the IFC Media Project.
