 NEW MEDIA LENS BOOK AND AN INTERVIEW WITH THE EDITORS
These are obviously just a few small examples; but this is an elite media system that has been designed, and has evolved, over many decades to defend the interests of the top 5% of the British population who own 45% of the nation's wealth and who run the country.
We published one article on the issue in the Guardian in December 2004 but that was a one-off gesture in response to intense criticism of the Guardian from Media Lens readers - it took us four months to place the article and we haven’t been invited back.
Ideally, beyond even this, powerful alternative media should aspire to inform and motivate large popular movements, and even new, libertarian political parties, which might then be in a position to reform media structures to limit the influence of corporate interests.

A Guardian man since 1997, he was previously a Birtist while deputy director-general at the BBC, and before that a commercial boss unafraid to wield the axe at ITN and the commercial television channels.

 MEDIA ALERT: ROLLING DEEPLY IN THE DUST - The Guardian Media Group, Spark Magazine And Toyota
Workthing was established by the Guardian Media Group in 2000:
GMG own www.workthing.com, a leading UK job and advice site, and PeopleBank, "a technology solution that powers the corporate career services of major blue-chip companies such as Tesco, Sainsbury's, Whitbread, The Tussaud's Group, Compass, Sodexho, PSA Peugeot Citroën, Weetabix and Nestlé".
Toyota and the Guardian Media Group might not agree with this argument, but if it is not allowed to be part of the discussion, 'honest' corporate media 'debate' sponsored by big business is a lie.
