Actually, it would be interesting to see labor press activists take the initative organize a real national media conference organized by and for labor, POC community and alternative press outlets - including the IMC. (why do we wait for the small clique of professional progressive media critics and academics to do this?) Such a conference, or a series of regional conferences might explore different strategies for building a new non-corporate democratic and participatory media network and alliance based on horizontal mutal support - not to 'reform' the exisitng corporate media, but to create a vibrant new media committed to articulating the intersts and concerns of the rest of us - using what resources we can marshal.
