On their website, politician, Jeremy Corbyn said: “I can think of nothing more important in this day and age than dealing with the question of media, access to knowledge and how we get ideas across to people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The Media Democracy Festival is very much part of that process and I hope we\u2019re all going to come out more determined to build a real alternative media system, not just in this country but all around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
