The Rise of Independent Media Centers
An Anonymous Coward writes: "The Online Journalism Review has a thoughtful piece that looks at the intersection of mass media, democracy, and technology. The Independent Media Centers are the nodes where this all happens. It's interesting that this article is written from the point of view of the journalism profession. I wonder what bloggers would say? Or the social activists who are making the news thanks to this and similar new media. See Modern Day Muckrakers: The Rise of the Independent Media Center Movement."
this brings up another question.. it's so commonly mentioned how these great random freelancing web journalists are changing the media by bringing unbiased news, and that sort of thing. we all know about the usual indy medias, but what other independant journalists have really proved themselves to be something insightful and accurate?
when the rain comes, they run and hide their heads. they might as well be dead.
