I just discovered two interesting reports on media and sustainability produced by SustainAbility and WWF-UK, Through the Looking Glass and Good News & Bad. These PDFs are linked on their Media Spotlight page. You have to register to download them (it’s free).

Spotlight on the Media:

Film, music, news, documentaries, soaps all have an enormous impact on modern society – what we read, hear, watch, believe and feel, some talke in terms of the media’s ‘brainprint’. Media and Entertainment companies powerfully influence how people and politicians relate to corporate responsibility and sustainable development. How could they be accountable for this profound impact on society?

Through the Looking Glass, produced in partnership with WWF-UK, takes a look at how a select group of M&E companies measure up in their efforts to be accountable for their influence on society.

Good News & Bad takes a look at the role of media in building the corporate responsibility agenda for business as well as how corporate responsibility, climate change, ozone depletion, endocrine disrupters, GM foods and socially responsible investment are perceived, prioritised and covered by the media.

Merchants of Culture CDROM

Now available, Antonio's health and media literacy CDROM curriculum for youth of color, Merchants of Culture. This valuable resource contains dozens of video and print examples of how advertisers market harmful substances such as alcohol and tobacco to various niche audiences, including Native Americans, Latinos, African Americans, Asians, GLBT and Women. This is an excellent primer for introducing the subject of cultural marketing to high school and middle school students. This is also a great product for health professionals and councilors working in the area of prevention.
