NewsReal is a monthly joint project of Free SpeechTV (http://www.freespeech.org) and the Independent Media Center (http://www.indymedia.org/en/index.shtml ).
NewsReal's goals are to embolden the global movement for social, environmental, and economic justice, strengthen non-corporate communication networks, and to encourage authentic participatory democracy, one community at a time.
Each program covers actions taken in local communities, by ordinary people, to address critical issues like the war, air and water pollution, reproductive rights, homelessness, for-profit prisons, sweatshops, racism, police brutality, indigenous struggles, and more.
Public Access producers, community screeners, and IMCs (Independent Media Centers) are encouraged to screen or air NewsReal. To obtain the show on a regular basis, please contact Pepperspray Productions at pepperspray@riseup.net.
