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. IF this was what commercial reality TV was all about, we would have had the revolution already.
Strong voices of the people. Produce a NewsReal segment yourself!

On the October Indymedia NewsReal:
Stop Anti-Immigrant Repression
Producer: Steev Hise, arizona.indymedia
A rally in Tucson in August against militarized borders and opressive
immigration policy. A young woman's face fills the screen: "They're putting whole families and little kids in immigration prison cells, and keeping them there for a long time, how holocaust is that?"
New Orleans Post-Katrina Toxicity
Producer: Rick Callaway
http://www.commongroundrelief.org
A look at chemical dumping in New Orleans after the storm. The mucky underbelly of a failed system.
Silenced By The Media
Producer: AWAAM
http://www.awaam.org
A controversy stirred up by mainstream media in New York about a
public Arabic school, and responses by members of AWAAM, Arab Women
Active in the Arts and Media. These sisters have strong voice, and they are right on it.
Palestine En Solidaridad
Producer: Jason Aragón
http://www.panleft.org
Palestinians who struggle against the Israeli wall visit Southern
Arizona to see the U.S./Mexico wall and give their perspectives. Those walls, dividing up the world, and military occupation are a terrible present, and the wrong road for humanity.
strong work y'all.
"Indymedia NewsReal" is a monthly joint project of Free SpeechTV (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. The Seattle PepperSpray Collective contributes segments to the "NewsReal" Project. In addition, we do the dubbing/mailing of the finished "NewsReal" for community screeners each month, and we also build the program's outreach by featuring the monthly "NewsReal" on "Indymedia Presents."
