I've talked with several people today who are looking for truthful information about what is going on in Genoa right now. For those who are looking for ongoing coverage from the streets, point your web browsers to: http://italia.indymedia.org |
There has already been a lot of controversy over the mainstream media coverage of the police killing of at least one protestor in Genoa, Italy. The Urbana-Champaign Independent Media Center has only brief coverage of the protests against the G8 meeting. For more in-depth coverage please check out the Italian IMC at: http://italia.indymedia.org
In addition, check out the difference in coverage between IMC journalists and the mainstream press -- see for example these two postings on the Italian IMC site:

Just want to mention that most of the IMC websites are centrally run out of Seattle, and they seem to be experiencing very high traffic that is bringing many of the sites to their knees. So, while Italy has been well updated, it is often hard to get.
U-C IMC is working to keep our front page updated with the most recent confirmed information and news, culled from IMC sites and other sources worldwide.
Also, if you find some news that's not here, PLEASE post it to the newswire, liked here. IMC works because people contribute. |
