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. Steev Hise, who puts the "Indymedia NewsReal" monthly program together is really pumping it with the October episode. The segments on the October NewsReal are great examples of what Indymedia video has to offer. Raw, passionate, real. Real people, the real perspective.
