Report on October 9 Media EmergenC Conf.
“Pessimism of the mind and optimism of the will.” That’s how UCSD communications professor Robert Horwitz began the Media EmergenC conference at the World Beat Center in Balboa Park October 9: with a quote from Italian socialist Antonio Gramsci that summed up how he believes progressives, radicals and Leftists should look at today’s media world. The conference was the fourth and final event of Media EmergenC, a community mobilization against the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) and its Radio Show convention in San Diego.

Massacre in Samarra
In Samarra, a major assault led by the U.S. has left at least 150 Iraqis dead including many women and children. Scores were injured and 88 people have been detained. The offensive began on Thursday when 5,000 U.S. and Iraqi troops invaded the city held by the Iraqi resistance. U.S. and Iraqi forces are now saying they have secured 70 percent of the city following one of the largest offensives in Iraq since the fall of Baghdad. The U.S. admitted at least 10 percent of the casualties were civilians, but local hospital officials said the percentage is much higher. Of the 70 dead brought to Samarra's General Hospital, officials reported 23 were children and 18 were women.
