The independent media are arguably more important than ever today, as corporate media's line reads increasingly like a government press release rather than a free society's analysis of the day's important events. But there's a lot to sort through- Independent newsmagazines and newspapers, local cable-TV access, and independent and microtransmitted radio are everywhere, offering a vast array of news, opinions, and information. New Indymedia activists alone now have direct links to more than sixty-five grassroots news sites around the world. The challenge we are faced with is two-fold- We must make these news sources widely accessible, but we must also find ways to compile, sort, and collectively release this real news to millions of people-a project that this invaluable guide for diversifying your access to information can make much more achievable.
