Redefining Media: Media Democracy and Community Radio
A CKUT 20th Anniversary Event

October 19th-21st, 2007
McGill University, Montreal, Quebec

In celebration of Media Democracy Day on October 18th, CKUT will
host its first annual media conference from October 19th to 21st, 2007. The goal of this conference is to provide participants with a critical understanding of media democracy, diversity and representation in the media. It will focus primarily on community radio and the ways in which it can be used to provide the public with clear, accurate, and representational viewpoints and information, while actively combating stereotyping according to race, gender, ethnicity and other factors.
