New LW media ideas: co-ops etc

[oscar111]

see this thread linked below, re: 19 to 28 and possibly further.

Some good ideas on new tv news channels, new co-op funding model, local paper ideas, etc.

Work on something positive, and your mood will improve, gang.

1. We're working on it...

This is an outgrowth of something which began on Daily Kos: about 20 of us (so far) have gotten together to launch a multi-pronged media project; it will begin with a boycott initiative against Fox/Drudge/Sinclair, and will ultimately expand into content creation/distribution. This project is in the larval stages: It began all of, let's see, 48 hours ago, so there isn't a whole lot firmed up yet, but we've made some progress. A domain name has been bought, a one-page placeholder site put up (http://www.foxdetox.com), an opt-in maillist established, and more is being done as I write.

We'd like to turn this into a REAL organization, which requires REAL people doing REAL work. I'd like to cordially invite committed, reasonably sane, somewhat skilled/visionary people to participate.

If you want to see where the discussion has led us so far, go here:

And if you SERIOUSLY want to get in on this in the early stages and help it build into something bigger: You're welcome to write me at david(at)rabidnation.com.

Best.
