Genocide IS News: Ask the Networks Why We Can't See It
Genocide is the ultimate crime against humanity. And a government-backed genocide is unfolding in the Darfur region of the Sudan. As the horror in Darfur continues, our major television news networks are largely missing in action.
Genocide is the ultimate crime against humanity. And a government-backed genocide is unfolding in the Darfur region of the Sudan. As the horror in Darfur continues, our major television news networks are largely missing in action.
During June 2005, CNN, FOXNews, NBC/MSNBC, ABC, and CBS ran 50 times as many stories about Michael Jackson and 12 times as many stories about Tom Cruise as they did about the genocide in Darfur.
Whether it is coverage of the civil rights movement in the 1950s and 60s, the Ethiopian famine in the 1980s, or recent coverage of the tsunami, television news can help stop grave injustices and end human suffering. Increased television coverage of the genocide in Darfur has the power to spur the action required to stop a devastating crime against humanity.
Genocide in Darfur is happening right before our eyes. Ask our networks why we can't see it.
At BeAWitness.org, you can contact the news media directly and "be a witness" for genocide in Darfur. You can also learn more about the conflict and read about ways you can help bring peace to this region of the world.
BeAWitness.org is sponsored by the Genocide Intervention Fund and the American Progress Action Fund. GIF (GenocideInterventionFund.org) aims to increase public awareness about genocide and support organizations, initiatives and government policies designed to help prevent and stop genocide. Currently, the GIF is raising funds to support African Union peacekeepers in Darfur. APAF (AmericanProgressAction.org) is a nonpartisan organization. With innovative online campaigns, APAF seeks to provide a forum to advance progressive ideas and policies.

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une
Politique éditoriale
, qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.
This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an
Editorial Policy
, which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
