Catch this snippet from a conversation with Ron Scott at the Allied Media Conference this past June, to get a glimpse into a massive mobilization for media justice that happens every year in Detroit!
Ron Scott, a native of Detroit, co-founded the Motor City’s branch of the Black Panther Party, and now works with the Detroit Coalition Against Police Brutality and the Boggs Center. He has been to every Allied Media Conference since it started 12 years ago, and was invited to give the keynote address at the opening ceremony this year.
The Allied Media Conference unites the worlds of media and communications, technology, education and social justice, providing a space to brainstorm innovative community organizing models. See what Ron Scott has to say about why he keeps coming back, and what he thinks is happening here to revolutionize the movement for media justice.
Interview conducted by Sarah Lu and Nicole Hummel as part of the Radio Rootz workshop at the AMC. Thank you to Gabriel Duncan, Tani Ikeda, and the AMC for photos. Made by Nicole Hummel.

Paper Tiger has been creating fun, funky, hard-hitting, investigative, compelling and truly alternative media since 1981! The programs produced at PTTV have inspired media-savvy community productions and activism around the world. Our archive includes shows that provide critical analysis of media, educate about the communications industry and highlight issues that are absent from mainstream information sources.
Through the distribution of our short documentary programs, media literacy/video production workshops, community screenings and grassroots advocacy, PTTV works to expose and challenge the corporate control of media. Because of the bias and misrepresentation of issues in mainstream media it is critical to include diverse perspectives in the process of making media.
PTTV strives to increase awareness of how media can be used to affect social change. A public that can strategically and creatively use the media is necessary for a more equitable and healthy democracy.
