Independent Media, Thank You for existing!

Alternative Media gives us alternative information as opposed to mainstream information that we get from way too many government owned organizations.

Do I like this? HELL YEAH! 

Media isn´t as free as I thought it was, for the longest time I thought that newspapers and other media sources "say/publish whatever they want to" but I came to realize it´s not like that. Thanks to this class I felt encouraged to look for new sources to satisfy my need of media and way too much information. Thank god there are a lot of choices! You probably found already many websites that promote those alternative media organizations, well I found these "alternative" sources that are independent from big conglomerates, and got stuck with a couple of them. Specially one news web caught my eye. This news website struggled at the beginning but made it possible to stay on the web since 1996. Its name is Disinformation (disinfoweblink) and I have to say that many of the articles I´ve read until now are very random, but so interesting that I just want to keep reading.

One of the articles I thought was very entertaining, was about the discovery by two German physicists that claim that the Universe does NOT exist:

Nonexistenceoftheuniverse

(This is part of the article)

The Disinformation Company is an alternative, therefore, independent media company which is based in New York City. Is wasn´t too easy for Disinformation to "stay alive". Right after it launched, the CEO of TeleComunnications, Inc. (now part of Comcast) wanted Disinformation to be closed down, but the founding team made it possible to keep the site and now it is a very popular alternative "news and underground culture destinations on the web".

Here are some more links to websites I found. These are all alternative news websites:

Open Democracy

Index Censorship

Adbusters


About Adbusters Magazine

This magazine is located in Canada, and it is a not-for-profit magazine that is being supported by readers. Adbusters Magazine says it is "concerned about the erosion of our physical and cultural environments by commercial forces." This magazine is becoming slowly more and more popular, and we´ll see if people don´t just turn their backs on mainstream media at some point...
Independent media provides us with so much information that being hidden from us, how could we not like that and be in favor of it!? People are getting up and noticing that what the government wants us to see, isn´t at all the whole picture so support Alternative Media, even if you don´t want to believe everything you read in an independent magazine or newspaper, the point of this movement is to think for ourselves and think about what we get, is it true? So many "facts" seem so vague or just impossible to believe, but we do because it is giving to us by mainstream media. STOP THIS!!!! Don´t be scared to go a step further and research for yourself, and then decide who you want to believe and trust.

I found this article that tells you 25 facts why mainstream doesn´t want to talk about right now and I think it´s awesome!
