Tell Somebody

Alternative Radio director and founder David Barsamian sits down at his home in Boulder, Colorado to talk with Tell Somebody.   In a June article about Barsamian’s keynote appearance at a Canadian media conference, a Canadian news site, www.hour.ca writes that “Dating back to the 1980s, Alternative Radio, founded by Armenian-American journalist and author David Barsamian, has been a shining example of an independent media initiative that wields international scope while maintaining fierce independence and strong ties to social movements." "Radio is uniquely positioned to deliver intellectual content, particularly because a listener is not distracted by the image, as in TV or the Internet," says Barsamian. "I think that for ideas and serious talk, radio is the singular medium that can offer a real ability for listeners to really delve into the profound issues of our time." http://www.hour.ca/news/news.aspx?iIDArticle=17473 Barsamian is winner of the Media Education Award, the ACLU's Upton Sinclair Award for
