The Mix It Up campaign on this site supports student activists willing to take on the challenge of identifying, questioning and crossing social boundaries. Schools in one US state have banned T-shirts depicting certain symbols. Do symbols on clothing draw you to, or make you steer clear of, other students at school? Join the debate on this excellent and provocative site.
Do you trust corporate media to tell you the truth about the real causes and extent of many of the problems facing us, such as human rights abuses, poverty, pollution and climate change?
Media Lens doesn't. The editors of this site say mainstream newspapers and broadcasters act as a propaganda system for corporate interests. It says the costs incurred as a result of this propaganda, in terms of human suffering and environmental degradation, are incalculable. There are articles on topics such as animal rights, globalisation, Iraq and terrorism.
