The Media and our minds

[Iniko Ujaama]

Greetings All
Over the last few weeks I have been thoroughly enjoying a number of documentaries off youtube on the influence of media and looking forward to others. Most of them happened to be produced by the MEF/Media Education Foundation.

Here are some of the titles (they cover everything from children, to porn, to voilence, gender, race, hiphop, etc etc)
