Awesome media project of the week.
Take Back the News is a project which aims to resist the under/ misrepresentation of sexual assault in the media. Here's their mission statement:
Take Back The News confronts the misrepresentation and underrepresentation of sexual assault in mainstream media with the goal of improving both the quantity and quality of media coverage of sexual assault. We intend to provide outlets for rape survivors to publish their stories in their own words. Take Back The News also seeks to raise public awareness about the epidemic nature of rape, in order to foster greater public dialogue and ultimately greater public responsibility.
And not to mention they're sisters, which obviously adds points with us. Keep up the good work, ladies!
