About Portland Indymedia |
Once upon a time, a few years before the invention of blogs and Twitter and social networking sites, Indymedia revolutionized the way media is made. Back then when corporations & powerful institutions, like the IMF, wanted to black out insurrections and dissenting voices it was relatively easy to do so. They had exclusive influence on the media. Then here came this wild idea. This Open publishing program, written in fancy new code that enabled comments to articles! The news content was USER driven. And...

Four decades of peace on Houston's airwaves. The 40th anniversary of KPFT |
The political climate of Houston in 1970 was repressive. The Vietnam War and the protests it spawned were at their height. There were numerous attacks against alternative or underground groups in Houston as well as against various civil rights organizations. KPFT went on the air with controversial programming and was twice bombed off the air in its first eight months of operation, first on May 12, 1970, and again on October 6, 1970. KPFT received massive publicity after the first bombing. [Read Full Story]
KPFT just completed their winter pledge drive this weekend raising 261,000 dollars, 95% of the goal. This included a pledge of $400 delivered with a brick by a self-described Klansman.
Houston Indymedia began a program on KPFT in 2002 covering local news and social justice struggles in Houston and across the globe. Our show continues to this day, airing every Friday at 7:30pm. Many of the radio shows reports are uploaded to the news wire and on to the Radio Page. Thanks to everyone who pledged to support us this past pledge drive! www.kpft.org

Fluff vs substance |
My roommate back in college admitted once that he spent an awful lot of time complaining about things (Usually justifiably, I thought) but felt he really had to make an exception once and to declare that the meal we were eating at a usually not-so-great cafeteria was really first-class. In the same light, I'd really like to commend the front-page piece in the Inky today summing up the health care summit yesterday. It's a solid, substantve piece that lets one know where all the players in the health care game are standing and where they're headed.

AARM Newsletter Hits the Streets |
The latest edition of the Activists Against Racism Movement (AARM) newsletter has been published and is circulating around Rochester. The newsletter, which focuses on the issue of mayor control of the Rochester City Schools, includes articles from both members of AARM and the community discussing why we need to oppose the proposed takeover.
AARM has been active in releasing newsletters to the community, having already produced two since the start of 2010. I talked with Tim Adams, who works closely on the paper, to discuss the content of this edition, how they make the newsletter, why they do it, and more.
