Welcome to another edition of the WILL-AM Media Matters email update!

THIS WEEK'S GUEST
-------------------------------
This week our guest is Noam Chomsky, the linguist, philosopher,  
political activist, author and lecturer. Chomsky is an Institute  
Professor and professor emeritus of linguistics at the Massachusetts  
Institute of Technology. The originator of the Theory of Generative  
Grammar, which revolutionized the study of linguistics, Chomsky is  
equally - if not more - well known for his work as a social activist  
and critic. His work with Edward Herman, Manufacturing Consent,  
provides an analysis of news media coverage of international affairs,  
resulting in a five-filter model to explain the deficienices and  
shortcomings of the US news media.

Among his political writings are American Power and the New Mandarins  
(1969), Peace in the Middle East? (1974, Profit over People (1998),  
and Rogue States (2000). Chomsky’s bestseller 9-11 (2002) is an  
analysis of the World Trade Center attack that, while denouncing the  
atrocity of the event, traces its origins to the actions and power of  
the United States, which he calls “a leading terrorist state.”

This is a recorded show so no calls will be taken.

UPCOMING GUESTS
-------------------------------

Upcoming guests include Susan Jacoby, Jennifer Pozner and Jeremy  
Scahill.

LAST WEEK'S SHOW
-------------------------------

Last week's guest was Jim Hightower. National radio commentator,  
writer, public speaker, and author of the new book, Swim Against The  
Current: Even A Dead Fish Can Go With The Flow, Hightower has spent  
three decades "battling the Powers That Be on behalf of the Powers  
That Ought To Be - consumers, working families, environmentalists,  
small businesses, and just-plain-folks."

Twice elected Texas Agriculture Commissioner, Hightower broadcasts  
daily radio commentaries that are carried in more than 150 commercial  
and public stations, on the web, on Armed Forces Radio, and on Radio  
for Peace International. He also does a weekly video blog that is  
carried on many popular websites.

In the Urbana-Champaign area, Hightower's daily commentary is
broadcast on WEFT 90.1FM.
