" But since the coporate media won't carry your
story, how is anyone to reach those uncoverted but often sympathetic thinkers?
There are thousands of them in this community--many with jobs and families."
That's a DAMN good question.
It may be that community organization that is alternative to corporate media
may have to develop. I mean by this not only pirate radios and newsletters,
etc., but also people getting together in their community to discuss what is
going on in the world, and inviting guest speakers, etc. to give alternative
viewpoints.
Now I know that at present, given the vast amounts of human life energy the
Work Machine sucks up, alot of people only have time for corporate news on
the tube --- who could blame anyone for this?? But it may be that people
might actually go to an event about a news story that seemed pressing. I'm
too young for such events, but I recall reading about "teach-in's"
and the like in the late 60's and early 70's that might be an effective
model. People don't have time for endless amounts of these, but something as
"exciting" or "upsetting" as discussions about Seattle and the WTO might draw
at least a few people from a community, who could then percolate their
integration of the perspectives given into the rest of the community.
And I'm sure there's all sorts of other creative ideas we could brainstorm.
But it's a really good question.
