[from www.indev.org, Week beginning 26th February 2001] Communication for change in a globalised world The waves of privatization and pressures toward liberalized trade that have marked the world economic order at the turn of the 21st century have also shaped the world media order. But the media industry is not only affected by these trends, it is also a potential instrument to combat the poverty and inequity that continue to plague so many of the world's people. Mass media can be the ideological army in support of globalization, but can also become the grassroots weapons to fight its impact. As coalitions and activists around the world demand that sustainable development become a priority in the world's changing political and economic systems, many civil-society advocates are urging the use of mass media to help communities find local solutions to economic, political and social disempowerment. for details see http://www.mediachannel.org/atissue/development/index.html
