Caracas, Mar 3 (Prensa Latina) Representatives from more than 240 Venezuelan media organization will set up the Social Movement of Alternative and Community in Caracas next week, organizers said.
The initiative is aimed at strongly and efficiently countering the media campaign against the Venezuelan people's democratic and revolutionary achievements over the past nine years, according to a press release published in alternative publications.
The organizers said alternative media plays a major role in the democratization process, as they allow the excluded and their struggles for social justice and equal rights to be heard.
The organization will include the media from the community, workers, farmers, women and students.
The movement will be founded by 400 delegates who will meet from March 7-9 at the Bolivarian University of Venezuela, where they will debate a draft bill on alternative and community communication.

This is an incredibly important development -- even if in the past, initiatives like these have been too often penetrated to the core by the thinking of pacifists and petit-bourgeois reformists. Let's hope that the infrastructure developed by this movement brings about the efficient dissemination of Leftist analysis and information -- to counter the daily imperialist media disinformation barrage.
ReplyDeleteAnd no matter what: this initiative must be closely tied to the development of the consejos -- and in fact function as their mouthpiece and means of information dissemination, thruout both Venezuela and beyond, to the world.
