The Progressive magazine dedicated its June/July issue to an in-depth look at media and media literacy, especially in the context of the upcoming election. On this week’s program, we hear from the publisher of the venerable political journal, as well as two Project Censored staffers who took part in producing the special issue. Later in the program, Mickey and Eleanor discuss the usefulness — and limitations — of electoral politics.

Norman Stockwell is the Publisher of the Progressive (www.progressive.org).

Andy Lee Roth is Associate Director of Project Censored, coordinator of the Project’s Campus Affiliates Program, and a contributor to the current issue of the Progressive.

Mischa Geracoulis is Curriculum Development Coordinator at Project Censored and the guest editor for the Progressive’s June/July media issue.
