Media is the most dominant force in our consumer society in the shaping of public opinion, cultural identity, social norms, and generally in terms of the interpretation of power and resource struggles.New Media For Social Change seeks to counteract the dominant realities of popular media: either it is indifferent to social issues, or when it seeks to address them, especially in the development milieu, the products are almost always deadly dull.

N.M.S.C intends to blend CORC’s existing message methods with communication solutions that are at the forefront of the digital revolution. This powerful combination will allow for broader audience reach and a more captivating and effective achievement of specific social goals.
