Real Change Street Newspaper/Submedia tv/Iraq Protests

Seattle's Real Change Street Newspaper

We've started a new "from-time-to-time" series on Indymedia Presents, which we are calling "meet your independent media maker."

Our first look is at Seattle's "homeless" newspaper, Real Change. The business model for Real Change is great; publish an outstanding weekly newspaper with a focus on social justice, and use an army of homeless/low income venders to hawk it on the streets.Venders buy the paper for 35¢ and sell it for a dollar.

I remember selling papers like this for the "Berkeley Barb" and later Seattle's "Sabot" newspapers back in the day.

Real Change is a real success story, having been at it for a number of years now.

Its the End of the World As We Know it, and I Feel Fine

The Stimulator from Vancouver, BC is at it again, with another episode of "End of the World." We can't get enough of this guy. From environmentalists being attacked by paid counter-protesters in British Columbia, to the torching of some "McMansions" near Seattle, to issues of media activists signing big book contracts, The Stimulator looks at the world with a sharp tongue and sharper perspective.

Fifth Anniversary of the Iraq War Protests

We take the viewers downtown to a rally in Seattle, where a speaker talks about the battle to stop war material from flowing through the Ports of Olympia and Tacoma, Washington. This is the best short summary of that campaign we have heard.
