Indymedia US NewsReal August 2007

Produce a NEWSREAL segment!

On NEWSREAL, people -- not corporations -- make the news! NEWSREAL is a monthly compilation of coverage from citizen journalists (like you!) across the nation.

NEWSREAL's goals are to embolden the global movement for social, environmental, and economic justice, strengthen non-corporate communication networks, and to encourage authentic participatory democracy, one community at a time.

Newsreal is looking for current reports of people taking action to achieve progressive social, environmental and economic justice. You can help by covering actions in your home town.

Newsreal is currently in need of edited segments 1 minute to 10 minutes long. If your segment is included on Newsreal, it will be aired over the DISH Network on Free Speech TV (http://www.freespeech.org) and you will receive $50. (You might starve by the time the check arrives from Free Speech TV, but it will indeed show up as a surprise after you have forgotten all about it...make sure to include your Social Security or Tax ID number on the submission form below so you get paid.)

If the above URL completely confused you (it is being updated soon), try this:

1) All future producers should sign up with the imc-satellite@indymedia.org list at: http://lists.indymedia.org/mailman/listinfo/imc-satellite. This is the main way we all communicate about Newreal. Feel free to ask questions.

When your segment is included in a Newsreal program, the imc-sat. list is where it will show up first...on the newest Newreal runsheet. If your segment isn't included for some reason, no one will tell you. Oh well, there are worse things we can all think of.

Indymedia Newsreal is a monthly joint project of Free Speech TV (http://www.freespeech.org) and the Independent Media Center (http://www.indymedia.org/en/index.shtml). It brings stories of progressive grassroots organizing, going on in backyards everywhere, to a national television audience. Each program covers actions taken in local communities, by ordinary people, to address critical issues like the war, air and water pollution, reproductive rights, homelessness, for-profit prisons, sweatshops, racism, police brutality, indigenous struggles, and more.

So... find a video camera and some editing equipment, and help local organizers in communities getting hit the hardest make their voices heard!
