[Imc-finance] Streaming...?

[Sascha Meinrath]

here at the UCIMC we have a lot of support from more mainstream media
reporters -- both solidarity-wise and financial.  but, the institutions
themselves have yet to see their interests served by supporting Indymedia.
while we were at first completely ignored, we've now made it through the
trash-talking phase, and are now grudgingly respected (or at least
tolerated as here to stay).  maybe other IMCs have found more support, but
we're personally happy to simply have the mainstream not be actively
hostile to us.

that said, if folks know of media sources that are supportive of
Indymedia, let me know, i'm perfectly happy to approach them... by the
way, has everyone voted today for Indymedia:

right now Indymedia stands to get about $25,000 -- so it's certainly worth
your time and effort.

in solidarity,
