Business and corporate media inundate us with sensational tales of "crime." These stories consistently side with police and the State, heavily relying upon stereotypes that pathologize poor people and those who work in informal and illegal sectors. In this panel, we'll hear from independent journalists who are telling the "real" story behind crime and the ever-expanding prison, punishment and surveillance industries. But how can media go beyond truth-telling? What role can our media play in building a world without prisons? We'll hear from people who make media to create justice in their communities and share ideas to take home.
