Bypass the corporate controlled media machine:

Indymedia - a collective of independent media organizations and hundreds of journalists offering grassroots, non-corporate coverage. Indymedia is a democratic media outlet for the creation of radical, accurate, and passionate tellings of truth.

ZNet - is a huge website updated many times daily and designed to convey information and provide community. A quarter of a million people a week use ZNet. Founded in 1995, ZNet offers information through diverse watch areas and sub-sites, translations, archives, links to other progressive sites, a daily commentary program, and much more. The above link goes to the ZNet top page, and the rest is all accessible from there.

Media lens - has grown out of frustration with the unwillingness, or inability, of the mainstream media to tell the truth about the real causes and extent of many of the problems facing us. Because much modern suffering is rooted in the unlimited greed of corporate profit-maximising - in the subordination of people and planet to profit - it is a genuine tragedy that society has been forced to rely on the corporate media for 'accurate' information.

schNews -

Fainess and accuracy in reporting - FAIR the national media watch group, has been offering well-documented criticism of media bias and censorship since 1986. An anti-censorship organization, we expose neglected news stories and defend working journalists when they are muzzled.

Common Dreams is a national non-profit citizens' organization working to bring progressive Americans together to promote progressive visions for America's future.

CounterPunch is the bi-weekly muckraking newsletter edited by Alexander Cockburn and Jeffrey St. Clair. Twice a month we bring our readers the stories that the corporate press never prints. We aren't side-line journalists here at CounterPunch. Ours is muckraking with a radical attitude and nothing makes us happier than when CounterPunch readers write in to say how useful they've found our newsletter in their battles against the war machine, big business and the rapers of nature.
