href="http://www.adbusters.org">Adbusters, one of our favorite mags,
just sent out their “2003: The Year Ahead” email. It was in 1989 that
Kalle Lasn tried unsuccessfully to purchase TV airtime for an ad critiquing the
forest industry. Lasn, together with Bill Schmalz, took action. That same year,
they founded the non-profit Adbusters Media Foundation and published Vol. 1, No.
1 of Adbusters.

Plans for 2003 include:

Design
Anarchy
The second Adbusters book, Design Anarchy, will be in
bookstores by Christmas 2003. Self-published and weighing in at 320
large-format pages, it will be an unmistakable catalog of the emerging anti-
commercial design aesthetic.

UK Office
Building on their
increasing international presence, Adbusters will work to open a London office,
tapping into Europe’s deep well of radical writing and design.

/>ABTV
The on-line multimedia ABTV project is already refreshing
almost daily with new flash and video content from across the planet.

/>Legal Action
Adbusters is preparing a high-level legal push for
guaranteed public access to the television airways.

/>Subvertise
Get ready for Meme Warfare Tonight. Working with some
of the most powerful civil society groups in the world, the idea is to can
create a 180-day campaign of 60-second “subvertisements,” soundbites and news
from the activist front.
