Size positive media?

This blog will serve to celebrate radio, television, film, print, or internet that are positive or accepting of varous body sizes. Media and advertising that excludes, stereotypes, or insults people of size IS the standard. It is widely believed that the unrealistic body standards made acceptable by mainstream media have been a detriment to the body image and self-esteem of those who cannot achieve the ideal body. I’m going to try to stay away from complaints about the status quo and rather celebrate areas where I see progress.

Thanks to the wonders of the internet and sites like YouTube, there is at least an alternative to mainstream corporate media. As a member of the fat community and size positive radio DJ, I’ve witnessed an exciting trend of outspoken size acceptance activists making their own way to be seen and heard via internet video and radio. I firmly believe that if mainsteam media will continue to ignore us and the value of our money, then we should establish our own alternative to help undo the damage done by years of mainstream programming.

Size Positive Media – The Blog will serve to focus on the positive media elements developing as well as the concepts of size neutral and empowering advertising.

Thank you for stopping by.
