Everyday we are bombarded with images and messages from corporate run media. What is the narrative that we are exposed to..what are the facts on-the-ground that are left out of print? How do we learn to read between the lines, and how do we create alternative ways of getting information out.

*Jonah Gindin: independant media activist who has reported from Venezuela (www.venezuelanalysis.com) as well as other places in South America and Central America, and Turtle Island. He is a member of the investigative research collective of www.inthenameofdemocracy.org.
