After nearly 28 years, The Communication Initiative (The CI) Global is entering a new chapter. Following a period of transition, the global website has been transferred to the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in South Africa, where it will be administered by the Social and Behaviour Change Communication Division. Wits' commitment to social change and justice makes it a trusted steward for The CI's legacy and future.
 
Co-founder Victoria Martin is pleased to see this work continue under Wits' leadership. Victoria knows that co-founder Warren Feek (1953–2024) would have felt deep pride in The CI Global's Africa-led direction.
 
We honour the team and partners who sustained The CI for decades. Meanwhile, La Iniciativa de Comunicación (CILA) continues independently at lainiciativadecomunicacion.com and is linked with The CI Global site.

Media Wars: News at a Time of Terror

0 comments
MediaChannel founder and editor, Danny Schechter, "the News Dissector," critically examines media coverage since 9/11. Schechter analyses what has been covered and, more tellingly, left out, in news coverage of the terrorist attacks on the United States and their aftermath. Drawing from the reporting of over one thousand worldwide radio, newspaper, television, and internet affiliates, the result is an account of how the media has become a megaphone for the U.S. military and its war on terror. Schechter suggests a series of changes to improve our news sources and return them to what he says is the vital role a free and independent press must play to preserve a democracy.

Danny Schechter is a veteran journalist, network producer (CNN and ABC News) and film maker.
