Sad news for critical media researchers all around. His work has been incredibly important not only for analyzing media policy, organizations and markets, but also for practical policy-making.
The great champion of independent, speak-truth-to-power journalism, and of the democracy that can only survive if the press is free, Robert W. McChesney, has died at age 72. He fought the media oligarchs and the politicians who served them — and often won.
Now, we must carry the fight forward.
Now, we must carry the fight forward.
Robert McChesney, the Great Champion of Journalism and Democracy, Has Died
The academic and activist inspired generations of people to challenge corporate power and support a media reform movement that lives on.
