"Independent Media in a Time of War" featuring Amy Goodman

A group of volunteer citizen-journalists (Hudson Mohawk Independent Media Center) produced a short documentary based on an April 2003 speech by Amy Goodman of Democracy Now!  At the time, many in mainstream media were cheering what they believed was a successful, nearly-completed invasion of Iraq.

Democracy Now! focuses on the big central issues, so "alternative media" is a misleading label. Those who tend to obsess on derivative or marginal or alternative issues are what we call "mainstream media." Check out this video from last week.
