Media Wars

"Limiting access, limiting information to cover the backsides of those who are in charge of the war, is extremely dangerous and cannot and should not be accepted. And I am sorry to say that, up to and including the moment of this interview, that overwhelmingly it has been accepted by the American people. And the current administration revels in that, and they take refuge in that." —CBS News Anchor Dan Rather on BBC News Night, May 16, 2002 In Media Wars: News at a Time of Terror, MediaChannel founder and editor, Danny Schechter, "the News Dissector," critically examines media coverage since 9/11. Schechter analyzes what has been covered and, more tellingly, left out, in news coverage of the terrorist attacks and their aftermath. Drawing from the reporting of over one thousand worldwide radio, newspaper, television, and internet affiliates, the result is a scathing account of how the media has become a megaphone for the U.S. military and its war on terror. More than just a critique, Schechter suggests a series of changes to improve our news sources and return them to the vital role a free and independent press must play to preserve a democracy. Media Wars is a timely assessment of what we are and are not being told in the most important story of our new century.

Madiba A To Z: The Many Faces Of Nelson Mandela

Madiba A To Z: The Many Faces Of Nelson Mandela

Danny Schechter

Seven Stories Press,U.S.
2013
nidottu
From the makers of the major motion picture "Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, "a completely unique biography and thematic telling of the story of Nelson Mandela. This book, which provided key source material for the film, is an unexpurgated collection of the views and opinions of South Africa's first Black president, and it draws on Danny Schechter's forty-year relationship with "Madiba," as Nelson Mandela is known in his native South Africa. Each chapter of this unique portrait corresponds to a letter of the alphabet, and the letters cover major and minor, unexpected and fascinating themes in Mandela's life and his impact on others: Athlete, Bully, Comrade, Forgiveness, Indigenous, Jailed, Militant, and President, to name a few. The book quotes liberally from Mandela himself, his ex-wives and other family members, global leaders, Mandela's cellmates and guards on Robben Island, the team behind "Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom," former president F. W. de Klerk, members of the South African Police, and his comrades including his successor Thabo Mbeki. "Madiba A to Z" reveals sides of Nelson Mandela that are not often discussed and angles of the anti-apartheid movement that most choose to brush under the table in order to focus on the happy-ending version of the story. As Schechter reports in the book, according to Mandela's successor as president of South Africa, Thabo Mbeki, "the fundamental problems of South Africa, poverty, inequality, have remained unchanged since 1994." This is partly because, as Schechter writes, "six months before the 1994 elections, when South Africa was being governed jointly by the ANC and the National Party under a Transitional Executive Council (TEC), there were secret negotiations about the economic future." There are many rarely spoken of revelations in "Madiba A to Z," a book about Mandela's brilliance, his courage, his tremendous impact in saving his country and its people of all races, but one that also shows how far South Africa still has to go.

Weaving autobiographical experiences with media analysis, Schechter names names and points his finger at key players in the megamedia corporations that rule the airwaves. He offers an insider's tale of how the media really works and why it doesn't work the way it should breaking what media historian Robert W. McChesney in his foreword calls "the implicit code of silence that compels journalists to look the other way ...." The More You Watch, The Less You Know recounts Schechter's media adventures, from when he was "Danny Schechter the News Dissector" on Boston's WBCN radio, to his personal odyssey chronicling the anti-Apartheid revolution in South Africa, to his development of innovative programming as an independent producer. In this age of telecommunications bills and media mergers. The More You Watch, The Less You Know is an insider's passionate plea for freedom of the electronic press and media reform.

`I wish I had a name like yours Danny because it's a real cool name,' sighed Alfie's imaginary friend Dudley.`I'll tell you what then Duds, why don't we swap names, but just for the day, just in case,' was what Dudley heard but he didn't answer right away because he knew that Danny was probably up to no good and when he did that things sort of went more than a little haywire.
