Political/Satirical Cartoons
Deadline: By April 20, 2003
Prizes: From $1000 to $100.
The Graduate School of Journalism at UC
Berkeley is producing its second issue of “The Big Story”, a media review which
focuses on how the mainstream American media covers a single important story
(for more on last year’s issue, go to www.thebigstory.org).
This year our theme is the tension between
civil liberties and national security within the United States since Sept. 11,
with a particular emphasis on the role of technology.
Our journal focuses on how the media covers, or
fails to cover, this critical story. Drawings therefore should include some
reference to the media.
Possible subjects include: John Poindexter and
the Total Information Awareness program, John Ashcroft, the USA PATRIOT act,
Tom Ridge, Lady Liberty, Scales of Justice, the Bill of Rights, etc.
All entries will be considered for publication
in The Big Story. Artists whose work is published will receive an honorarium of
$100. First prize: $1000 (and a possible cover).
All work remains your property, but your
submission to The Big Story is considered a license by artist to The Big Story
of first serial publication rights in print and on the web.

Battelle, faculty editor, at jbat@battellemedia.com
