Link to the Show / Show NotesThis week on CounterSpin: Argentina just passed a media law that will severely curb the power of the country’s most powerful conglomerates by putting a majority of the country’s broadcast licenses in non-corporate hands. How did the law come about, and how is it expected to change Argentina’s media landscape. And what lessons might US media activists take from Argentina’s example? We’ll talk with Marie Trigona, an independent journalist and filmmaker based in Argentina.
Also on CounterSpin today: "a bomb in every issue" was how Time magazine described the 60's muckraking magazine Ramparts. It's also the title of a new history of that publication. We'll talk to author Peter Richardson about Ramparts place in the history of alternative media, and what lessons can be learned from the publication's rise and fall.
