[Imc-newsroom] imc headline news

[Paul Riismandel]

IMCs are producing the headline news for LiveWire, the daily news currently 
aired on WEFT at 5:00pm for the month of February.  This is something we 
could participate in, perhaps to the tune of a 1 min. story a week or so -- 
kind of like what Brent et al  did for INN.   Here is a note about it from 
the global indymedia site.  I just signed up for their mailing 
list--someone else might want to, too.

The IMC Audio Team is proud to announce a new project in collaboration with 
the National Radio Project:
A New Weekly Five Minute Headlines Report!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 


The National Radio Project (producers of the hard hitting nationally 
syndicated weekly program "Making Contact") has announced a 4-week pilot of 
their new daily "Live Wire Independent News" for February. The IMC Audio 
Team has agreed to produce one five-minute headlines segment once a week 
for the duration of the 4 weeks. The pilot will be aired on community radio 
stations and some NPR affiliates around the country, and hopefully will 
become a daily staple for the politically savvy and not so savvy alike.

Our intention with taking on this exciting new project was to first:

~Create an organizing structure that we can use for longer term 
collaborative radio projects, and

~Involve IMC enthusiasts from other mediums and serve as a free 
advertisement to those not yet involved in the IMC network. After all, 
anyone can be an IMC reporter!

So grab your audio recorder or pen and paper and bring this country the 
real news from those that are affected by it. Send in reports from the 
streets, recordings of revolutionaries on the front lines of the new 
protest movement, or write up the latest peoples' headlines that either 
didn't make it in the corporate media, or were compromised by the power of 
corporate funding.

This is a collaborative project, so your participation is greatly 
appreciated in making this all happen! If you would like to be involved in 
shaping this network, please subscribe to
