The August Indymedia Newsreal program is looking really good! Things seem to be picking up, though we're still far from having anything like a steady stream of submissions. Please keep keeping the project in mind and keep spreading the word!
Thanx for everyone's support and contributions!
On NEWSREAL, people -- not corporations -- make the news!

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 ).
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.
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.
Public Access producers, community screeners, and IMCs (Independent Media Centers) are encouraged to screen or air NewsReal. To obtain the show on a regular basis, please contact Pepperspray Productions at pepperspray@riseup.net.
