We are the media now. Through texts, Tweets, blogs, and word of mouth it is us who will make a difference.
We need to be unbiased and we need to show support.
We have to take care that our own personal biases do not hinder a valid story.
Our responsibility is great.
A responsibility the corporate controlled media has foregone in lieu of avarice.
This movement is about giving voice to the silent majority and I want to continue that.
I'm serious about my determination to not censor posts to the group.
We may object to the premise, or hate the opinion, but it is up to the reader to determine whether the opinion therein is worth contemplating.
Who we would like to see republished to the group page. This is a guideline and is by no means intended to limit just guide decisions. If it is a slow time for republishing diaries using this list feel free to add voices we haven't heard from.
1) Diaries of note
2) Diaries from an Occupy Project in an underrepresented city.
3) Breaking diaries- Those with more content taking precedence over who is first. My style with breaking diaries is to publish the initial link and add information as it develops and becomes known. So judgement and observation will be important regarding these diaries.
4) Informational posts from General Assemblies and videos from Anon and people occupying that support the movement.
5) Front page Occupy Wall Street diaries
6) Noted Authors- Those who Occupy Wall Street follows.
Even posts on issues that we are rallying against yet do not specifically cite the movement should be posted if they are directing towards solutions to what caused this mess ie: banking reform, lobbying restrictions, campaign finance etc.
If readers have other ideas of what they would like included please include that in the comments here.
