Those of you looking for an antidote to O'Reilly's bedtime stories should check out Hey, Kidz! Buy this Book! A Radical Primer on Corporate and Governmental Propaganda and Artistic Activism for Short People, out this month from Soft Skull. Author Anne-Elizabeth Moore has made a career out of radical publishing--with stints at The Onion, The Progressive, The Comics Journal, LiP Magazine and more--and she's translated that into this crash course in media education and DIY cultural activism. Featuring how-to's on topics ranging from budgets to mural-making, short interviews with rabble rousers like performer Nomy Lamm and poster artist Robbie Conal and appendices featuring highlights from the progressive media sphere, this book should be required back-to-school reading.
