I found this site by way of NetNewsWire (NNW).

The Independent Media Center is a network of collectively run media outlets for the creation of radical, accurate, and passionate tellings of the truth. We work out of a love and inspiration for people who continue to work for a better world, despite corporate media’s distortions and unwillingness to cover the efforts to free humanity.

They have a Boston-specific site as well as specific sites for different countries and states. I’ve started reading the headlines via NNW every day. Some pretty interesting stuff goes by on the wire. Some of it is very radical but it definitely gives an interesting and quite different perspective on daily goings on. They also cover smaller stories that don’t make the evening news. Worth checking out. (hey, Kim, there’s even one for Richmond!)
