MobilizeSCREENING: "Stripped for Parts: American Journalism on the Brink" + Director Rick Goldsmith · The Media and Democracy ProjectWorried about the media diets of your fellow Americans, the loss of local journalism jobs - and the impact of this on our democracy? Join our Zoom screening of "Stripped for Parts: American Journalism on the Brink" followed by discussion with Director Rick Goldsmith. Stripped for Parts is the story of a secretive hedge fund that is plundering what is left of America’s newspapers, and the journalists who are fighting back. Hedge fund Alden Global Capital is quietly gobbling up newspapers across the country and gutting them, but no one knows why– until journalist Julie Reynolds begins to investigate. Her findings trigger rebellions across the country by journalists working at Alden-owned newspapers. Backed by the NewsGuild union, the newsmen and women go toe-to-toe with their “vulture capitalist” owners in a battle to save and rebuild local journalism in America. Who will control the future of America’s news ecosystem: Wall Street billionaires concerned only with profit, or those who see journalism as an essential public service, the lifeblood of our democracy? Trailer: https://vimeo.com/923029964 This film is NOT available on streaming platforms. This is a unique opportunity to watch via Zoom with Director Q&A - and be empowered with *ACTIONS YOU CAN TAKE* to fight for local journalism!

Charlie McHenry

It really does appear that we’re entering a new period of neo-feudalism, with billionaires, corporations (now deemed people) and hedge funds as our new overlords. The above mentioned culprits own massive amounts of housing, which is why rents keep going up; they own grocery stores, which is why food inflation and shrinkflation are so common; and they largely own our health care system, from hospitals to nursing homes. It’s long past time to break up these obvious monopolies and tax the rich - to avoid a popular uprising and the steady march toward serfdom for the middle class. #politics #Capitalism #feudalism #economics #Billionaires #HedgeFunds #Corporations #Exploitation
