99 Problems – With a Shared Root Cause
There are more than 99 Problems with the media as a root cause. Way more.
Genocide, ecocide, menticide, division, hatred, all fuelled by billionaire opinions and a disastrous media ownership model giving the 1% all the power.
But then Jay-Z (he wrote a song called #99 Problems, which is where we got our inspiration from) was probably using an estimate too.
This campaign features protesters – (maybe even you?) – revolving a double-sided placard.
One side is written in the voice and style of the malignant media – including lies and disinformation. The protester then revolves the placard to reveal a more accurate headline – the kind of coverage needed to help inform and educate people about the real issues in our world – the kind of thing you’d hear from movement media.
