Media Democracy Days (MDD) is an annual public event

that has been held at the Vancouver Public Libraryevery autumn since 2001. A project of the MediaDemocrayc Project, MDD is co-organized with theSchool of Communication at Simon Fraser Universityand community group OpenMedia.ca.

The event features two days of keynote speakers, paneldiscussions, film screenings, and hands-on mediaproduction and policy-oriented workshops. Our intentionis to bring scholars, students, community groups andindividuals together to encourage discussion andcollaboration to democratize the media.

The central theme of MDD is the need for ordinarycitizens to become involved in learning about, andparticipating in, the production of media and the shapingof public policy about the media in Canada.

OVERVIEW

Know The Media

Change the Media

...through panel discussions and presentations that explore how the media systemswork, what content is excluded, and media impacts on culture and society. In thepast we have included such topics such as greenwashing, ownership concentration,labour practices, barriers to diversity, and political communications.

...by enhancing opportunities for a diversity of citizens to actively participate in

media-making, and to support alternative media practice. For example, we providemedia-making workshops and an extensive Media Fair that highlights existingorganizations.

...by looking at ways of intervening in questions of policy and regulation. In thepast this has included panels on Internet surveillance, freedom of information, andcopyright laws.
