ENDORSE THE CAMPAIGN The support of professional organizations of all kinds is important in establishing the legitimacy of this campaign. From educators to doctors, unions, businesses and civil servants, there are innumerable professional organizations that could bring their credibility to this campaign for media accountability. There are two forms of endorsement—one for individuals and another for organizations. INDIVIDUAL ENDORSEMENT (For organizational endorsements, click here) Please print and mail, or download a printable PDF (requires the free utility Adobe Acrobat Reader) Together we can do what we cannot accomplish alone: challenge the mass media’s pervasive violence, stereotyping, lack of diverse perspectives, and limited coverage of the critical issues of our times. We agree that the media creates a universal culture that shapes how we see our world and drives public opinion and public policy. We agree that the media should not be controlled by a handful of conglomerates whose overriding goal is making a profit not serving the public interest. We recognize that by law, broadcasters are required to serve the public interest. We support Our Media Voice in its goals of establishing a media-rights education campaign, a national coalition for media accountability, local chapters, a clearinghouse for media activism, and citizen feedback forums. For the health of our society, and for the future of our children, we agree that it is time for media broadcasters to listen and respond to the voices of the citizens they are legally obligated to serve. We, the undersigned, endorse the goals of Our Media Voice and agree to raise awareness and take action. Circulate Our Media Voice's Survey. Circulate Our Media Voice's Petition.
