Support Alternative Media![]() Getting the information contained the preceding websites, books and blogs is important. Perhaps even more important is the need to support alternative media. If you can listen to a Pacifica Station. Watch or listen to Democracy Now with Amy Goodman. And when it comes to print media there are a lot of great reads out there. The Nation could really use your help right now. There's Mother Jones. And there are a great many others. But I would like to suggest a, perhaps, lesser known magazine: The Indypendent. The Indypendent is: The Indypendent is the only truly progressive and anti-war free newspaper in New York City. We provide original in-depth, hard-hitting reporting on local, national and international news and commentary to our print and online readership of about 50,000.For a measely $25 a year you can get 20 copies of the Indypendent. More importantly you can help sustain an alternative to the bullshit we are bombarded with everyday by the corporate media. Finally, I would be remiss without mentioning a form of media that you can actively get involved with: Indymedia.The Independent Media Center (IMC) grew out of the protests in Seattle against the WTO and the woefully inadequate and extremely biased media coverage. There are local IMC centers all over the world. Mine is NYC Indymedia. It's not only a great place to find alternative media and stories you won't find anywhere else, you can also join in and publish stories and pictures, making the media much more democratic.
