The CIP Americas Program has presented a series of 10 Citizen Action Profiles on Communication Rights based on a project funded by the World Association for Christian Communication (WACC). In a world where media monopolies control so much of what we know about the world, these successful experiences from throughout the Americas provide lessons about the importance of building citizen communication from the grassroots. The ten profiles include: Women's Communication and Information Service Takes on Media Sexism in Mexico New Communication Models to Confront New Challenges to Democracy Radio Atipiri: Making News in Aymara Popular Communication in Brazil's Landless Movement Radio Ñomndaa, The Word of the Water Argentina's Community Media Fights for Access and Legal Reform Citizen Groups Organize to End "Soft Censorship" Indigenous Community Radio in Mexico Binational Indigenous Communication Strategies in the U.S. and Mexico Mexican Environmental Journalists Improve Coverage Link to story
