Music Freedom Day 2007

On Saturday, March 3rd radio and TV broadcasters world-wide will focus on
music censorship

Freemuse invites broadcasters to participate in a global media event on the subject of Music & Censorship.

Consider being a part of an international, tri-media look at the subject through all of our many languages, cultures, countries and points of view.

In November in Istanbul, Freemuse held a very successful international conference on Music & Censorship.

Present were musicians, journalists, academics, writers, activists – all focused on the fact that today still  musicians in many parts of the world face a variety of censors to their music. Initially a suggestion from Ann MacKeigan from Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, one of the outcomes of the conference was to designate a specific date for the world's media to explore the issue of Music and censorship... in their own countries, in their own mediums, and in their own way.

Freemuse has designated the first Saturday in March, annually, to be Music Freedom Day, and we invite any and all colleagues to consider directing their programming on this day, or the days leading up to it, on the subject of banned music.

FREEMUSE - THE WORLD FORUM ON MUSIC AND CENSORSHIP is an independent international organization advocating freedom of expression for musicians and composers worldwide. Find out more at: www.freemuse.org
