  • Kashmir occupation / BRICS summit implications

    Kashmir occupation / BRICS summit implications
    Nov 22 2024
    In the first half of today’s show, Eleanor’s topic is India’s occupation of Kashmir and its violent suppression of human rights there. She says, for this topic, the guest’s chair stayed empty, because Kashmiri journalists and activists — even those outside Kashmir — are forced to stay silent for fear of retribution against their families. Eleanor also points out the multiple parallels and connections between the Israeli occupation of Palestine and the Indian occupation of Kashmir. In the second half-hour, Ben Norton returns to the program to discuss the recent BRICS summit in Russia; he also compares the fast-growing BRICS group of economies with the US economy and its rising inequality. Ben Norton is editor-in-chief at the Geopolitical Economy Report (www.geopoliticaleconomy.com) The post Kashmir occupation / BRICS summit implications appeared first on KPFA.

    Legendary consumer-rights campaigner and political activist Ralph Nader returns to the Project Censored Show to discuss his two forthcoming books. Let’s Start the Revolution explains how grassroots people-power can defeat corporate power, while Out of Darkness is a collection of Nader’s writings from 2012 to 2022. Later in the program, Mickey talks with political sociologist Peter Phillips about his new book Titans of Capital: How Concentrated Wealth Threatens Humanity. The sequel to his 2018 book Giants, Titans identifies the money managers who control the world’s largest sums of capital, in their jobs at Black Rock and other huge investment firms, and how their power worsens the problems facing the human race.

    Algorithmic Literacy for Journalists / A New Movement Media Alliance

    Mickey’s first guest this week is Project Censored’s Associate Director, Andy Lee Roth. Roth is a 2024-25 Reynolds Journalism Institute Fellow where he is developing an “algorithmic literacy” toolkit for journalists. He explains why today’s journalists need a basic understanding of the algorithms used by internet and social media tech giants to better serve the public. Issues around horse-race poll coverage, shadow banning, and algorithmic gatekeeping are discussed. In the second half of the show, Maya Schenwar of Truthout and Lara Witt of Prism introduce the organization they co-founded, the Movement Media Alliance. They explain why social-justice-oriented media outlets should work together, both to enhance their impact and to better the working conditions for journalists in independent media. GUESTS: Andy Lee Roth is Associate Director of Project Censored, co-editor of its state-of-the-free-press yearbooks, co-author of The Media and Me, and coordinator of its Campus Affiliates Program. His work on algorithmic literacy for journalists is supported by a fellowship from the Reynolds Journalism Institute at the University of Missouri. Maya Schenwar is Editor-At-Large for Truthout, and writes extensively on prison and policing issues. Lara Witt is Editor-In-Chief at Prism Reports.
