The first I attended was "The Importance of Independent Media" by Anthony Verberckmoes, and while it didn't explain how it was important, it did discuss how the "mainstream media" is sophisticated propaganda perpetuated by rich white men. It wasn't a surprise to hear Anthony espouse these sort of views, independent media is often very critical of the way the mainstream media operates and even markets itself, despite some of the similarities between the two, but if independent media wants to gain acceptance as the news source of choice it could definitely benefit from these evil tools of the mainstream media; branding. Branding the idea of independent and user generated media, capturing its diversity, and building a community around it is key to reach out to those who want to be able to identify sources of passionate and free voices. But better brands are needed, and they need to be better than anything mainstream has to offer before they can grow. In this article I'm going to take a look at six of London's most prominent alternative media sources online, and go over what they do well, where they could use some work, and where they fail.]]> http://leschinskidesign.com/20080812/state-of-londons-independent-media/feed/ 43 http://leschinskidesign.com/20080508/were-not-on-board/ http://leschinskidesign.com/20080508/were-not-on-board/#comments Thu, 08 May 2008 12:30:30 +0000 John L http://leschinskidesign.com/notebook/?p=69 http://leschinskidesign.com/20080508/were-not-on-board/feed/ 12 http://leschinskidesign.com/20080328/mcleod-on-rogers-13/ http://leschinskidesign.com/20080328/mcleod-on-rogers-13/#comments Fri, 28 Mar 2008 18:00:50 +0000 John L http://leschinskidesign.com/notebook/index.php/20080328/mcleod-on-rogers-13/ http://leschinskidesign.com/20080328/mcleod-on-rogers-13/feed/ 1
