CHIANG MAI, Thailand (APEN) – Forty one participants of the Asia Region -- World Association of Christian Communication (AR-WACC) assembly held here have expressed concern that media in the region take sides with the interests of those in power, “instead of upholding the people’s voices and aspirations.”
“Commercial interests of media institutions do not promote people’s issues of justice and peace,” they said.
In a statement, Chiang Mai Declaration 2008, issued for “deliberation, adaptation and implementation at the local, national, and regional levels,” the assembly participants reaffirmed “our prophetic role as Christian communicators” and committed themselves to make the voices of the poor and the marginalized heard, and to support communities in their struggle for peace and hope.

The nature of communication is changing and the nature of capitalist
globalization is accelerating changes that are creating huge impacts over life and livelihood. Information and communication technology in the context
of corporate globalization, as well as governance and democracy viewed in

one hand, and of creating uneven social relationships with divides and discrimination on the other.
