'This timely and essential book presents a searing blueprint for democratizing our media. Expertly combining theory and critique with praxis, the book does exactly what a manifesto should do - it provides readers with the necessary analytical tools and culminates with a call to action. Another system is possible, and these brilliant scholar-activists show us the way forward!'
Victor Pickard, Annenburg School for Communication, University of Pennsylvania
'Media giants, fake news, data justice. This is the essential guide to what is wrong with today's media and how to make it right.'
Vincent Mosco, author of The Smart City in a Digital World
'a powerful and imaginative proposition that not only insightfully articulates the complexity of the problem but also makes a start at (re)conceptualising a radical political imaginary. Indeed, this manifesto has not only captured the spirit (or spectre) of change that our age sorely needs but has made a wonderfully inspiring start at materialising it.'
