Newswire: Move Your Money Campaign 11/1/11
Protesters with the Occupy Wall Street movement have helped encourage actions aimed at creating a more fair economy for all Americans, as more people begin speaking out against Wall Street and the financial institutions that helped cause the great recession. Among those actions is the "Move your Money" campaign, whose goal it is to move one billion dollars out of the hands of big banks. Tracy van Slyke, co-director of the New Bottom Line and a Free Speech TV board member, gives Newswire the details.

GRITtv: Creating a New Media with Tracy Van Slyke and Jessica Clark
The progressive media during the Bush era grew to new heights, developing in ways that suited the particular tendencies of the left. Tracy Van Slyke and Jessica Clark started to study the way the media was developing while they worked together at In These Times magazine, and continued their work as Tracy founded the Media Consortium (of which GRITtv is a proud member) and Jessica moved to the Center for Social Media at American University. Their new book, Beyond the Echo Chamber: How a Networked Progressive Media Can Reshape American Politics, explains how the progressive media has used new technology to make progressive change, and they join us in studio to talk about their book and their continuing work.
GRITtv: Whose News Is It, Anyway?
Discussions on the future of journalism are happening so often now that they're almost trite. But Robert McChesney, John Nichols, Tracy Van Slyke and Kate Giammarise are not only interested in saving journalism; they're interested in having all of us have a say. Nichols and McChesney have a new book out, The Death and Life of American Journalism: The Media Revolution that Will Begin the World Again that documents the decline of the commercial press and makes the case for publicly-funded media, and Van Slyke has a book out as well, co-authored with Jessica Clark, Beyond the Echo Chamber: How a Networked Progressive Media Can Reshape American Politics, documenting the rise of a new media culture. Giammarise is featured in Nichols and McChesney's book and since being laid off from the Toledo Blade has founded Rustwire.com.
