Media Tactics

The Pret-A-Revolter media tactic works on several different levels:
Preemptive media strike Media images of protest and actions usually focus on violence.
The protestors in thes images are a black inhuman mass.
Other images, festive and colourful ones, are easily available, but somehow never appear in the mainstream media.
Images of Pret-A-Revolter and its process of production are made available to the media several weeks before a big protest event.
Thus the idea of the protest movement as a site where positive non violent culture is produced gets its due time in the media.
