Cofounded by Kalle Lasn and Bill Schmalz in Vancouver in 1989, Adbusters pioneered the phenomenon of “culture jamming,” in which the techniques of conventional print advertising are used to critique, subvert, and challenge the hegemony of large corporations. It features often-disturbing spoof ads alongside left-leaning articles on a wide range of political and social issues—including animal rights, climate change, and nuclear proliferation—and regularly solicits submissions and ideas from its readers.
