The Global Media Research Center is pleased to present a lecture and discussion with Philip Mattera on Thursday, February 14th at 4:30 PM in the Deanís Conference Room (Communications 1032).
Mattera will speak on the new ways in which large corporations are using advertising and public relations to present themselves as leaders in environmental progress, even when their credentials for doing so are highly dubious. He will discuss the similarities and differences between todayís forms of greenwashing and those of the past.
Philip Mattera is director of the Corporate Research Project (www.corp-research.org), which helps unions, environmental organizations and other public interest groups in their corporate accountability campaigns. He publishes the bimonthly Corporate Research E-Letter (www.corp-research.org/archives.htm) and is the author of four books on business and economics. He can be reached at
