As the World Trade Organization (WTO) Ministerial approaches, independent video mak-ers,radio producers, journalists and activists are rallying under the common goal of social and economic justice to challenge the WTO pro-corporate policies. In an effort to reclaim media democracy, this unprecedented media collaboration will make public the voices and concerns of tens of thousands from all over the world who will gather in Seattle from November 29 to December 3. Simultaneously, it will offer independent, non-commercial analytical and investigative coverage of the issues and implications surrounding multilat-eral organizations such as the WTO. Deep Dish Satellite TV in association with The Independent Media Center in Seattle and Free Speech TV will broadcast directly from Seattle as activists representing labor, the environment, civil society, international law, and Indigenous Nations will converge on this city to hold counter events and stage demonstrations. Big Noise Films, Changing America, Citizen Vagrom, Paper Tiger TV, Speakeasy, Whispered Media and others (over a dozen video crews in all) will participate in this alternative pool coverage along with contributors from around the world. The televised coverage will be provided on a next day basis via satellitecast (transponder and times TBA) as a 60 minute feed during five consecutive days. The series will consist of five 30-minute programs covering each day's events. A diversity of cogent voices will articulate their concerns with the WTO and contribute to an educated and meaningful understanding of the issues. A second 30 minute satellite feed will consist of pre-produced programming focusing on specific global issues as they relate to the WTO, the IMF, and the World Bank (program titles TBA). Because these important voices, opinions and points of view are likely to never be seen or heard in commercial mainstream media, Public Access Cable TV Centers are invited to encourage local producers to sponsor and schedule this five day, five hour series on their local access channels. Local PBS affiliates are also requested to run the series in its entire-ty. The series is provided free of charge to non-commercial programmers and channel provider and may be rebroadcast multiple times. The series will also provide information on how viewers can receive additional information via the Seattle Independent Media Center's internet sites which will provide print, audio and video content on a daily basis (www.rewire.org).
