Greetings Media Action supporters,

This is a quick note to remind you about our March 5th event: Beauty (Mis)represented: What's The Matter With Airbrushing Advertisements?, and to correct a mistake on the previous notice: the address for OISE is 252 Bloor. St. W. (at St. George subway station).

Event details are pasted below.

Media Action has just released the results of a national poll, conducted last fall, that asked a range of Canadians how they feel about photo-retouching and advertising, particularly when it comes to advertising beauty products. You can read the results of our poll here, on the campaigns section of our website.

We hope to see you tomorrow!

Beauty (Mis)Represented:
What’s the matter with airbrushing advertisements?

Is photo-manipulation in advertising benign and irrelevant, or damaging and indefensible? Join Media Action Media in its first public discussion as we debate the issue from all sides.

Featuring:
Shari Graydon (author, activist and Media Action Média member)
Stacey May Fowles (publisher of Shameless Magazine and author of Be Good)
Tonika Morgan (community activist and member of the Medina Collective)
Ivan Pols (Associate Creative Director, Ogilvy & Mather)
