Can someone create a web page for a protest against the media for us?
Edited on Sun Sep-12-04 01:30 PM by Bushneedstogo
I don't know how to do it but I would be willing to pay for it through paypal if it doesn't cost that much.

I need some help to organize a media black out protest!

2. You mean a name like "mediamendacity.com"?
I don't really know what a "domain" is.

3. Yes mediamendacity.com is fine
Have you registered the name? If not, and if that is the one you want, you can register it here:
www.godaddy.com

12. OK. let's start here
We need an available and registrable domain name.

Truthinmedia.com/net/org is taken...

Please take a minute and research your ideas here and find a name we can all agree on that is available.

http://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/default.asp

Once that is done, someone needs to register it. Less than $10 for the year.

Then we need a few reasonable ideas as to what the site will consist of.

Then I will build it.

10. I'm trying to help, but it's your idea.
I can build the site, but it's like being a construction worker and being asked to 'build something.'

I need some input as to what you want. One page? Two pages? 100 pages? Do you want a message board? Polls? Management features?

Help me to help you.

13. I can manage it
I would like the front page to be able to stress that we need a voice in the media.

A message board would be nice but it might get taken over by freepers. But I believe we need something for questions and answers on upcoming events.

I want an area that people can click on and print out the flyer of the day to pass out in their area.

What do you think two pages?

Thank you!

5. organization
I could certainly help in building up a site...
but I don't have time to contribute content.

It needs to be done...I'm getting my news now from places like
the democratic underground and such because corporate media
is so manipulated by corporate interests.

9. like,,,takebackthemedia.com? Mediamatters? Thedailyhowler?
I don't think we need more websotes - maybe more activity on individual level - letter writing, etc.

11. I thought the purpose of the site was to organize and publicize
an anti-corporate/conservative media march--not to chronicle media bias, per se.

16. It's more or less a one day event planner that we can go to
Every time we need to fight back.

I would like the same link that DU has to all of the media when we need to do a mass emailing for things that they do against Dems.

Nothing big just a place to post a fight back and set date up on.

17. OK, where are we on this?
Edited on Sun Sep-12-04 03:06 PM by bushbash
Is anyone working on this, or was it just a passing fancy?

Let me know what's going on. I have already constructed the management functions and base dynamics of the site...

21. I want a page not a whole website
Edited on Sun Sep-12-04 03:36 PM by Bushneedstogo
I want to organize a Media Blackout day and a march.

I do not need a whole website but I am not sure about how to organize it.

I would also like people to be able to print fliers up and pass them out for the day that we plan for the march to be on.
