Grassroots Internet Journalism
Most of the large news organizations–espcially in broadcast–are owned by a handful of MEDIA companies. The criteria for what is considered news has shifted over the years to become more about entertainment news. While some news organizations–like the New York Times–certainly continue to report on critical issues of the day, many topics are not reported in great detail.
We are hoping to bypass the entertainment companies narrow interests to present this topic on the Internet. Grassroots here will mean posting the presentation on smaller web sites run by like-minded people who will tell others about it by email and word-of-mouth. Let’s see how far and wide the story can spread on the Internet.
