Here are more musings about @news and the rest of the world.

Announcing the Anarchist News Ally program

The response to the last meta-@news post regarding advertising didn't receive a ton of response but the response it did receive was strongly encouraging towards individual support and against explicit advertising. Consequently, today we introduce the Anarchist News Ally program.

From http://parenthesiseye.blogspot.com/2013/05/public-affairs.html

A few months back I wrote up a proposal on this blog about how a new nation-wide anarchist organization could be created that is based on organizing various big public gatherings of anarchist-identified people using an event-structuring format called “open space technology”. Looking at what has occurred at various big public events for the U.S. anarchist milieu since I last wrote that piece, I have changed my mind about that proposal. I now think that the U.S. anarchist milieu in general currently does not have the maturity and self-responsibility necessary to be able to successfully pull off something like that.

Open Response to the NYC Anarchist Book Fair Collective's Letter to the Anarchist Community

To the NYC Anarchist Book Fair 2013 Collective,

In response to the letter to the Anarchist Community you recently posted to your website located here: http://anarchistbookfair.net/

Pin the blame on whoever you want, but the chaos surrounding the bookfair was your fault. We may have chained the doors of the Clemente Soto Velez Cultural Center, but you begged us to do so by closing the doors of the bookfair to so many others.

This will be the first in a series of musings about the role of @news in the larger terrain of anarchist counter information. While this isn't going to be a wild change of direction for the project it will be a place to discuss the site's mission (its relevance and effectiveness), some of the criticisms of how we do it, and on occasion the most interesting of the haters.
