[Dryerase] december indypendent is out

[annie v]

What’s Noisy But Says Nothing? From TV’s hysterical
talking heads to the maverick grassroots journalists
who fight media megaconglomerates, to the iron-fisted
corporate control of communication, this month’s
Indypendent explores the dissemination and control of
information through mass media.

We take a look at the role of PR firms in selling
everything from purple ketchup to war; radio behemoth
Clear Channel Communications and its underhanded
manipulation of musical artists; as well as how video
games like America’s Army reflect and manipulate
political power dynamics. We also explore the
marginalization of women within the ‘old boy’ media
networks. 

And as always, enjoy hard-hitting local coverage of
Bushwick students' resistence to millitary recruiting;
the Village Voice conglomerate's thwarting of labor
and alternative publications; and the struggle of the
Oneidas against a wealthy casino kingpin. Check out
our national and international coverage, including a
first-person report from Gaza. 

Featured stories will be forwarded to the dry erase
list, but a feature with links is available now at
http://nyc.indymedia.org.

Peace!
