MEDIA FOR ALL BY 2015

Information and communication technologies offer us an historic opportunity to create a new world of mutual responsibility and human solidarity -- though only if and when the majority of the world has the chance of fair and equitable access to the means of communication, writes Anuradha Mittal, director of OneWorld International Foundation and author of numerous articles of issues of global justice. In this article, the author writes that the real communications revolution will only come when enough citizens have the option to become media producers: when they can talk with as well as listen to those of us who are media professionals playing the role of facilitator. The People\'s Media era will begin when the Information Society is replaced by a Communication Society. When the People\'s Media era dawns, we will have no excuses left for being ignorant about what is really going on in the world. We will have no more excuses for global apartheid.
