How about a TV Network that reports the News all the time?


Independent World Television is building the world’s first global independent news network. Online and on TV, IWTnews will deliver independent news and real debate from professional and citizen journalists -– without funding from governments, corporations or commercial advertising.

IWTnews VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS

Pamela de Maigret, journalist, film-maker and Republican activist:
"I think you have to ask the question, do we have free elections in this country? I don't think we do.... This is one more of those stories that Independent World Television needs to stick with." http://www.iwtnews.com/videoplayer/pamela_de_maigret

Lewis Lapham, Harper's Editor:
"Television media isn't set up to appreciate dissent. It's a consumer product like soap, packaged to sell the most units to the most people." http://www.iwtnews.com/videoplayer/lewis_lapham

Laura Flanders, Air America Radio:
"The big issues of our time -- like global warming or peak oil -- are critical stories to the majority of people on the planet. And yet somehow they're not 'media friendly' because they don't have a hook this week, or a drama in Washington taking place around them." http://www.iwtnews.com/videoplayer/laura_flanders

Juan Gonzalez, Democracy Now! co-host:
"I think the creation of independent TV and broadcasting right now is at the heart of preserving democracy throughout the industrialized world." http://www.iwtnews.com/videoplayer/juan_gonzalez

Robert McChesney, Free Press founder:
"Independent World Television can be one of the cornerstones of a democratic media system."
http://www.iwtnews.com/videoplayer/robert_w_mcchesney

Linda Foley, Newspaper Guild President:
"There are pressures in the newsrooms to cut back, to cut corners on journalism, both in terms of personnel and in how stories are pursued." http://www.iwtnews.com/videoplayer/linda_foley

Nicco Mele, EchoDitto CEO and Dean campaign webmaster:
"Independent World Television is an exciting way to break out of the way the media conglomerates, intentionally or unintentionally, editorially control content...."
http://www.iwtnews.com/videoplayer/linda_foley

Joanne St. Lewis, University of Ottawa:
"The television media has to stop simply choosing the same experts -- it's about moving to a broader body politic." http://www.iwtnews.com/videoplayer/joanne_st_lewis"
