Comments on: Media Democracy Day in Vancouver 2008 http://www.miss604.com/2008/10/media-democracy-day-in-vancouver-2008.html Vancouver Blog Miss604 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 04:17:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Geeks & Global Justice » Blog Archive » Outing the corporate mainstream media http://www.miss604.com/2008/10/media-democracy-day-in-vancouver-2008.html#comment-9393 Geeks & Global Justice » Blog Archive » Outing the corporate mainstream media Thu, 30 Oct 2008 07:23:33 +0000 http://www.miss604.com/?p=4866#comment-9393 [...] Media Democracy Day totally kicked it this weekend at the VPL. The event was a good fit with the library, and the MDD fair - 40+ community groups set up to do community outreach and promote a more accessible media system with less corporate influence - was well attended, both by intentional MDD attendees and regular library-goers. Tris has some great Flickr photos that give a sense of what the day was like as well as excellent coverage of a couple of the panels. DaveO has a good roundup here. And our fave blogger about town, Miss604, even gave it a nice little  plug. [...] [...] Media Democracy Day totally kicked it this weekend at the VPL.

I was working the Free Geek stall and we got to talk to an endless stream of interested people. They had a lot of interesting presentations and presenters on the schedule but, with the exception of sitting on one of the panels, I was too busy talking to passers-by to take time to go see. Hope we're there again next year! We had a great day. I was working the Free Geek stall and we got to talk to an endless stream of interested people.
