> BACKGROUND
>
> if you've had some contact with hamilton indymedia, you'll
> know we've had a print edition called "the hammer" for
> nearly two years.  if you've been following really closely,
> you'll have noticed the hammer has disappeared for the last
> couple of months.  we're not through; we've just decided to
> step back and reassess the best way for us to do alt print
> media.
>
> the next hammer will be coming out for the beginning of
> july, and it's aim will be to tear down the facade of
> canadian nationalism so that we can look to building a
> better world.
>
> this hammer will be considerably lengthier than past editions,
> running at least 8 and hopefully 12 pages.
>
> if you're interested in contributing an article, any kind of
> submission, or labour
> (editing, layout, distribution, gettin' tha word
> out...) please do get in touch.
