Call to action for independent journalists reporting on the RNC

Bitch on Wheels blog post by Debbie Rasmussen, September 3, 2008 - 2:51pm; tagged Amy Goodman, Democracy Now!, independent media, police brutality, RNC 2008, RNC protests.

By now many of you have probably heard that several journalists (including Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman and an AP photographer) were arrested while they were covering protests of the Republican National Convention. But as independent publishers ourselves, I think it's critical that the word get out as far and wide as possible. 

 

 

Prior to this, police with firearms drawn raided a video journalists' group to arrest independent bloggers and videomakers.

According to the Free Press, many mainstream media outlets are ignoring the arrests (which really are attacks on independent journalism) -- and some independent media makers are still in jail. They're asking people to sign a public letter demanding theat press intimidation cease immediately, and that all charges be dropped.
