Incidentally,

 

Tune in to CNN Headline News over the next week to enjoy 60-second

" uncommercial " interruptions of predictable marketing messages. " Is economic

'progress' killing the planet? " asks the ad which will air before audiences of

millions of people throughout North America, prompting them to think about The

Big Question: whether the World Trade Organization will consider the

environmental and social impact of its economic policies at its upcoming meeting

in Seattle, Washington.

 

The 60-second ad will air as the WTO and an estimated 50,000 of its critics

convene on the city from November 29 to December 3, 1999.

 

Tune in at these times:

Monday, November 22 @ 8:18 p.m. (PST)

Monday, November 29 @ 8:48 p.m.

Monday, November 29 @ 10:42 p.m.

Tuesday, November 30 @ 8:18 p.m.

Thursday, December 2 @ 8:42 p.m.

Free distribution of the radio and TV ads has enabled more than 50 local TV and

100 college and community radio stations to broadcast The Big Question

throughout North America and Europe. Seattle-bound activists: check out three

strategically placed billboards in downtown Seattle which offer an assessment of

the WTO's economic agenda: " System Error - Type WTO (progress). " You will find

them at: Olive and 8th Denny and Stewart Western and Broad Get in on the action
