UPDATE: We have the group: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1269

Please contribute ideas, start a discussion, say "Hello"!

EDIT: Shortening name from "New Progressive Media Resources Access Group"

to "Progressive Media Resources Group"

Hi!

We are looking for support from as many members as possible, and if it's there will propose the idea to Skinner.

Progressive Media Resources Group

Statement of Purpose:

A safe place to share and discuss wider ranging news, views and opinion from both internal alternative US news sources and Global sources available through external wireless or ethernet connected alternative delivery systems.

Alternative formats might include podcasts, streams, and other emerging formats that carry Left/Progressive Voices reporting about Current Topics in USA/Politics/Global Financial, Food and Water Resources, Climate Change News, etc.

We'll check in from time to time and try to answer any questions.

TIA!
