[IMC-Boston-Editorial] new website emergency move (need feedback)

[Jonathan D. Proulx]

Like the logo, but the text is a bit wordy how about just "A collective of
independent grassroots journalists".  I don't care too much, but I
feel it would be better shorter and I don't care enough about
corporate media to really bother challenging it to be honest...

:
:- comments that can't be hidden forcing us to delete
:comments that break our policy;
:- trolls taking other people's names to post
:right-wing propaganda;
:- unverified email addresses;

:Jon has been working hard on trying to control the
:spam, but unfortunately it seems to be a general
:problem with dada (the software used to run the
:website) since there's a few IMCs in the US with the
:same problem. Therefore, we contacted a few of our
:past tech guys working with Boston IMC to try to focus
:on launching our new web site running on drupal.
:There's a team of about 4-5 people on it right now...
:Let me know if you would like to be added to that list
:of people...

:Attached you will find a new banner for our new site.
:I think everyone really liked it except the language
:under the title which used to read: "A public media
:outlet for the radical, accurate, and passionate
:tellings of truth."  Mike mentioned an issue with it,
:and I myself don't think it accurately represents what
:we do...

:I've changed that to say instead: "A collective of
:independent grassroots journalists working
:to challenge corporate media." I would like to know
:what you guys think, and hopefully we can come to a
:consensus for the language.

:thanks! and peace,
