Re: Town Hall Notes: North Bay Re Occupied Press
Here's
Below are the desires that were expressed this evening for the paper content:
* Regular columns on the hot topics; foreclosures, corporate person-hood, etc...
* Personal stories of what folks are experiencing
* Calendar of events for all towns and what projects are being addressed in each town
* Articles on what is happening in movements around the world, ie Tunisia, Egypt...
* Reports on banks unchecked corruptions
* Real news that the mainstream media is missing
* Speaking truth to power
* Investigative Journalism
* Twitter/Facebook feeds
