Rewriting the Drug War News
Ever read a news story and want to bang your head on the wall because of all the underlying assumptions written into it? Me too.
Stop the Drug War has a new project called the Drug Policy News Writing Demonstration Project.
The Drug Policy News Demonstration Project seeks to raise awareness of the consequences of prohibition as they routinely occur on a daily basis, but which are rarely identified as such in news reports. We are doing this by presenting rewritten versions of drug-related articles published by mainstream news outlets. This effort is a project of the Drug War Chronicle newsletter, a publication of StoptheDrugWar.org.
I’ll be participating in this project and will be sure to link from here.
interesting idea!
