Whispered Media and works with MISSION STATEMENT A MEDIA SCREED Recent social policy and the global situation is now nothing more than a melange of competing crises and short-sighted logic that remains cleverly packaged and sold to the people as "Progress." The glass menagerie of collusion between corporate, military and media interests is as absurd as the spectacle that it presents to viewers. And, while the so-called mainstream media cloaks its political agenda with the reassuring pretension of "objectivity," this smiling veneer barely conceals their fundamental structural alignment with a self-seeking status quo that is elitist, greedy and lacks basic humanity. So, now is the time for our community-based global movements to reclaim history, to speak directly, and to broadcast our own vision for a brighter tommorow by creating our own media. To this end, Whispered Media was founded as a collective that promotes the use of video and other media tools in strengthening progressive grassroots movements. Whispered Media offers video witnessing, support and training, collects archival political footage, and produces video and audio works about specific grassroots and global campaigns and organizations. Whispered Media is one cell in a rapidly growing grassroots media movement. We are also founding members of Indymedia and the Video Activist Network (VAN), an informal association of activists and politically conscious artists using video as a tool for positive social change. (OK, so why the name "whispered" media?) |
