A Call for Men's Health Media Monitors

	posted by Scott on Thursday January 09, @08:56AM from the men's-health dept.
	I received the following announcement from Men's Health America: "Are you tired of all the one-sided coverage that the media is giving to gender health issues? Are you disturbed about articles that imply that a person's life counts for less because he happens to be male? This coming year, Men's Health America has established improved media coverage of men's health as one of our top priorities for 2003. We plan to do something about this bias! Men's Health America would like to invite you to participate as one of our Media Watchdogs." See the Read More section below for details on what this involves...

	" Men's Health America would like to invite you to participate as one of our Media Watchdogs. Here's what the Media Watchdogs will do: 1. Identify one newspaper that you read regularly. 2. When you see a gender health article that is biased, write a concise letter to the editor. 3. Then e-mail your letter to Men's Health America, along with the e-mail address of the Letters Editor and the URL of the article (if it's available) to the MHA website at this link. 4. Men's Health America will post 2-4 such letters each month on the MHA website, and invite all the MHA members to contact the editor about their concerns. If you are interested, contact Men's Health America at eba@intr.net (eba-at-intr.net). Please respond ASAP. The men's health media campaign is in progress now! Together, we will make a difference. Beginning now.

Great idea! (Score:1) by Tom on Thursday January 09, @01:53PM EST (#1) (User #192 Info) http://www.standyourground.com This is a great idea and allows individuals to work alone and and yet be a part of a large group effort. Great idea and I will be looking for articles to get started. Many thanks. Stand Your Ground Forum

Chat topic. (Score:1) by Scott (scott@mensactivism.org) on Thursday January 09, @03:22PM EST (#2) (User #3 Info) For people who were in last night's chat discussing a "weekly activism project" or something similar, this is a great one to take part in. In fact, if you join the MHA e-mail list, you will find that they have several focused and well-organized activism projects throughout the year. MHA has done a lot of great work promoting the Men's Health Act and has brought significant media attention to the brutalization of Afghan men. I can't praise them enough. Scott
