Talking the Walkis an incomparable resource for learning to discuss and spin issues of race and racial justice. Its purpose is to help build the capacity of progressive activists and advocates to conduct media work, reframe public debate, and interrupt media stereotypes with messaging around racial justice. This guide is a treasure for democratizing the media landscape and fighting back against our corporate media-saturated environment.

Hunter Cuttingis a co-founder of We Interrupt this Message, a media strategy and training center. Makani Themba-Nixon is executive director of The Praxis Project and author of Making Policy, Making Change.

Bauknin, June 28, 2009 (view all comments by Bauknin)
If you are an activist dealing with the media in a racial justice capacity (in other words, you expose racism where you find it), this book should be required reading. It presents ideas and ways to go about dealing with the media to ensure your message isn't diluted or twisted. For that alone it is invaluable. If you aren't an activist dealing with the media, this book has little to offer. That's not to say it is unworthy of reading, however.

For non-activist types who are still cognizant to race issues, the sections dealing with how the media covered events like hurricane Katrina will prove insightful and interesting. You could skip the rest of the book and this section alone would be well worth your time.
