CHECK VILLAGEVOICE.COM FOR ONGOING COVERAGE OF THE DNC.
The Village Voice coverage is fine, I suppose. But try as I might, I haven't found the location on their website where independent journalists can publish their OWN ads in a similar manner to the way the Voice is posting on IMC.
Surely the Voice isn't just freeloading publicity on the back of a group of volunteers, right? Becasue that would be irritating and crass. Especially since they've only linked their stories so they aren't actually archived on the copyright-free IMC site. Yeah, that would be sort of obnoxious of them. I'd hate to think that liberal carpetbaggers were resorting to sucking off donated equipment and time.
I sure hope the next free advert for a story by the Voice includes the link to where we can post on their site. Or at least includes the story. Or at least isn't in all caps.
I hear what you are saying about the Voice, but they are actually printing good stories and are having good coverage about the protests. While they aren't a mainstream paper, a lot of people do read the Voice and take what it say seriously, so we should be happy for their coverage.
