Here is a link to Tim Robbins' brilliant speech to the NAB on his view of where the media has ended up and what it needs to do to redeem itself. (AR&D - on the home page now look to the right of the screen - it is in 4 parts)
The speech is a masterpiece in form and delivery. He is funny and uses story to enable us to hear who we have become without being so offended as to close our ears. Then he appeals to our better nature and asks especially those in charge to step up and to stand for what is good and is needed. (Not workplace safe if you have the volume u)
The speech was filmed by a $100 Flip camera - they are not available in Canada!!!
