IS THE BBC AND OTHER MEDIA IGNORING YOUR PROTEST?

IS THE BBC AND OTHER MEDIA IGNORING YOUR PROTEST?
IPM, BBC RADIO FOUR WEBSITE -- HAVE YOUR SAY

iPM has talked about Richard_SM before. He wrote suggesting we look at how the media covers demonstrations. "Tens of thousands sacrificed their time" to attend protests about events in Gaza, but the demos were "hardly covered". He contrasts this with the heckling of a military parade in Luton and the Peter Mandelson green goo incident, which were widely reported.

The media, he says, is "simply creating an environment which encourages violent or outrageous protests in the future to draw attention to their cause".

We've already spoken to iPM listener Andy Williamson (pictured above with his sax). He and the Jazz Activists entertain marchers. He provided us with an improv soundtrack for Saturday's show, but we still want to hear from more iPM listeners.
Are you a protester worried that your quiet, peaceful demonstration has been ignored? Do you feel under pressure to come up with provocative stunts to catch media attention. Have you reported on a protest?Email us or leave a comment.

With a few exceptions, the issue of fluoride and fluoridation has been ignored by the media, despite the fact that its its unethical, immoral, and illegal. The TV and Radio stations, didnt even seem concerned when the governments yes men and women at the SHA and PCT decided to ignore their own rules and 72% - 92% public opposition and throw democracy out of the window in Southamption. Its little wonder that people talk now so much about a growing police state. Have your say on the IPM Radio Four Website. at this address
