hello
i have recently graduated a media studies degree in London and i am very
interestred in your cause. I have studied the media for 5 years now and
originally, with good intentions, i wanted to make documentaries and short
films inspired by people like Hegedus, Pennebaker and John Grierson. It did
not take long for me to discover people like Althuser, Marx, Chomsky, Pilger
et al and i soon realised the true agenda of the mass media. As well as the
egocentric competition in the vocational aspect i soon give up my dream by
promising myself to never 'sell out.'
However, in my final term i began to write reflective essays about my notion
of the 'future role of the media student' and this was pretty much what i
have just read in your mission statement and work ethos. It could be a
coincidence (or not) but i firmly believe that i can help your organization
in some way, you could certainly help me and i would love to volunteer with
your London community.
I casually joined the socialist group when i was at university and i have
attended numerous rallies and events so i share your ideology and consensus.
I would love to hear about your gatherings and projects maybe we can work
together, i really hope so. I would like to replace my genuine apathy with
something constructive!
thankyou for your time
