東京プログレッシヴは 1997年の 発足以来、様々に形を変えて現在に至っています。当初 は英語を学ぶ日本人学生の一助として、また批判的読解力を育てるた めのオルタナティヴ・メディアとしてスタートした後、民主的メディアを推進する情報源として発展してきました。｢民主的メディア｣とは時に分かりにくい言 葉ですが、企業メディアによって非公開とされたり歪曲された情報を解放するメディア、という意を含みます。それはまた、東京プログレッシヴも含めたすべて のメディアは、そのメディア独自の視点を持ち、｢メディアの客観性｣という言説は神話にしかすぎない、ということの理解でもあります。
TokyoProgressive has been in existence in various incarnations since 1997. Originally conceived as a tool to help Japanese students of English and alternative media develop critical literacy skills, it has developed into a resource for promoting a democratic media. This is a sometimes ambiguous term that includes liberating information withheld or distorted by the corporate media. It also means understanding that all media, including TokyoProgressive, is biased and that objectivity is a myth.
