| Media violence information and strategies |
About The Free Radical: This site, based in Toronto, Canada, is operated by anti-violence activist, Valerie Smith. It provides information on various aspects of the media violence problem -- with a particular emphasis on the mistreatment of girls and women in popular culture -- and suggestions for trying to combat it. Click here for background and activist highlights.
This
site has been created for people wishing to get involved. A good place
for Canadians to start is with the
Action Agenda: A Strategic Blueprint
for Reducing Exposure to Media Violence in Canada, available for
free download on this, and other sites. The report was published in 2004 and there have, obviously, been some changes since then, but if you're new to the issue, reading it will save you a lot of time and effort.
Other
than that, there is a hodgepodge of information on various aspects of
the entertainment industry -- articles, research documents, links to web sites. Hope you find it useful. Valerie Smith,
Toronto, Ontario
