Media Roots

The root system of a tree is five times more extensive than the tree itself, and reaches far underground to form a solid base for growth and nourishment. Just as this root system is integral to the survival of the tree, media is integral to the foundation and survival of a democracy.

Media Roots is a citizen journalism project that reports the news from outside of party lines while providing a collaborative forum for conscious citizens, artists and activists to unite.

This site is run by artist, activist and citizen journalist Abby Martin and is based in the San Francisco bay area. You can check out her art at http://www.abbymartin.org or follow her on twitter: http://www.twitter.com/AbbyMartin
