AdBusters

This alternative, globally read news source based out of Vancouver has established itself as a creative publication focusing on the impact corporations, mass media, advertising, consumption is having on society. The writing is inspirational, the graphic design mind blowing and the topics discussed remind us of the simple truths that are generally dismissed by the mainstream media.



In their own words:

"Culture jammers, it's time to howl! We are a loose global network of artists, writers, environmentalists, ecological economists, media-literacy teachers, reborn Lefties, ecofeminists, downshifters, high school shit-disturbers, campus rabble-rousers, incorrigibles, malcontents and green entrepreneurs. We are idealists, anarchists, guerrilla tacticians, pranksters, neo-Luddites, poets, philosphers and punks. We see ourselves as one of the most significant social movements of the next 20 years. Our aim is to topple existing power structures and forge a major rethinking of the way we will live in the 21st century. We believe culture jamming will become to our era what civil rights was to the '60s, what feminism was to the '70s, what environmentat activism was to the '80s. It will alter the way we live and think. It will change the way information flows, the way insitutions wield power, the way TV stations are run, the way food, fashion, automobile, sports, music and culture industries set their agendas. Above all, it will change the way we interact with the mass media and the way in which meaning is produced in our society."
