Today's News NJ blog was launched on August 1st 2008 by Generation Change The World and Daryl Mikell Brooks, executive director. Today's, blog will be one of the best media reform organizations in the New Jersey. Consisting of 20 activists and members and a full-time staff in New Jersey.

Our Purpose

Media play a huge role in our lives. TV, radio, the Internet, movies, books and newspapers inform and influence our ideas, opinions, values and beliefs. They shape our understanding of the world and give us the information we need to hold our leaders accountable. But our media system is failing.

This broken system isn't natural. For far to long, corrupt media policy has been made behind closed doors in the public's name but without our informed consent. If we want better media, we need better media policies! If we want better policies, we must engage more people in policy debates and demand better media.

That's why Today's News NJ blog was created. We're working to make media reform a bona fide political issue in America. Big Media companies have plenty of lobbyists to do their bidding. We're making sure the public has a seat at the table, and we're building a movement to make sure that the media serves the public interest.

Today's News blog believes that media reform is crucial not just for creating better news and entertainment, but for advancing every issue you care about. A vibrant, diverse and independent media is the cornerstone of a healthy democracy.

Today's News NJ is a New Jersey, nonpartisan blog working to reform the media. Through education, organizing and advocacy, we promote diverse and independent media ownership, strong public media, and universal access to communications.

Thank you and God bless, Daryl Mikell Brooks
