Greg Ruggiero co-founded the Open Media Series in 1991, which has since published some of the most outspoken scholars, social justice advocates, and dissidents of our time, including Angela Y. Davis, Allen Ginsberg, Alice Walker, Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Ralph Nader, Arundhati Roy, and Subcomandante Marcos.
“Microradio & Democracy is a superb analysis of how the media
giants and the government have worked together to cripple freedom
of speech on the airways by banning small radio stations. It is
also an exhilarating account of how the small broadcasters and
their supporters are fighting back.” –Howard Zinn
“This study provides an illuminating analysis of a crucial
component of the ongoing state-corporate assault on meaningful
democracy: the effort to control and shape attitudes and beliefs to
induce passive acceptance of the dictates of private power.” –Noam
Chomsky
“Microradio is here, and it can no longer be repressed. Greg
Ruggiero has done a mighty service by explaining the issues of
microradio broadcasting and outlining the crucial struggle that is
taking place at this very moment in Washington, D.C. Microradio is
not "the answer" to all our media problems, but it can be an
important first step in the process of making our media accountable
to Main Street, rather than to Wall Street and Madison Avenue. Read
this pamphlet, share it with your friends, and get active. If
popular support for noncommercial, community-based microradio
emerges, this is a fight we can and will win.” –Robert. W.
McChesney
