MEDIA MATTERS

A CONVERSATION WITH YOUTH AND ADULTS ABOUT LIVING IN A MEDIA WORLD

Saturday, March 20, 2004
11 a.m. - 2 p.m.
Bainbridge Commons
402 Brien Drive Bainbridge Island
(10 min. walk from the Bainbridge ferry terminal)

Free. Refreshments provided.

Media literacy! Media ownership! Media generations! We live in a media ocean where consciousness is being altered almost beyond our awareness and control. Are there ways we can meet this onslaught with a positive understanding of its influence? And possibly transform it as much as it is transforming us?

What can we do here on Bainbridge Island to create ways to transform media into a positive power for social changes rather than a negative force for weakening the social fabric?

Come and explore this media sea through an intergenerational dialogue, Media Matters: A Conversation with Youth and Adults on Living in a Media World, at the Bainbridge Commons, 402 Brien Drive, on March 20, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event is free, with refreshments provided.

Sponsored by Bainbridge Island Broadcasting and Imagine Bainbridge, the event is part of the Bainbridge Island Arts & Humanities Council’s 2004 Humanities Inquiry, Breaking News: The State of Today’s Information Media. The inquiry, which takes place throughout March and early April, is a series of events and conversations on the role, responsibilities, and impact of today’s news media.

Breaking News is co-presented by The Washington News Council, a Seattle-based nonprofit organization whose mission is to help maintain public trust and confidence in the news media. The program is funded in part by a grant from Humanities Washington, a state-wide non-profit organization supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities and local contributors.
