Friends,

You won't hear about this one from the corporate media.
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22ND IS MEDIA DEMOCRACY DAY.

Join the Vancouver celebrations from 11:00 - 5:00 at the downtown public library (central branch):

VANCOUVER'S 5TH ANNUAL INDEPENDENT MEDIA FAIR -- FREE EVENT, OPEN TO ALL.

A showcasing of this city's best independent media. The Fair is an annual MDD favourite, with 75 exhibitors taking over the main foyer of the library (350 west Georgia) to spread the word about alternatives to corporate news. Come and discover local voices working outside the mainstream.

What to expect? Feisty online news magazines. Grassroots newspapers. Indy radio stations. Video collectives. And more. All 100% CanWest free.
