Jeff Sparrow, editor, 'Overland'

"We need, instead, to create new audiences, to build communities for whom information matters. In a previous Overland Rjurik Davidson described this in terms of creating a counter hegemonic public sphere, a counterculture of writers and readers, thinkers and activists, publications and campaigns, and an infrastructure that allows people to make news rather than merely consume it.

To put the matter another way, it's not enough for nonfiction writers to simply describe the world. The point, as always, is to change it."
