Anne Elizabeth Moore is a veteran of many independent media projects–including the much missed Punk Planet magazine–and author of Unmarketable: Brandalism, Copyfighting, Mocketing, and the Erosion of Integrity. In 2008 she traveled to Cambodia for a residency in a women’s college dormitory where she introduced self-publishing in the form of zines. In this edition of the program we discuss the meaning of self-publishing in a country where women have been discouraged from self-expression and where being a journalist is still a very risky occupation.

Chicago recently earned the dubious distinction of having the parent companies both major newspapers and the largest alternative weekly declare bankruptcy. And Chicago is not alone in having troubles with its newspapers. It’s getting so bad that even ardent anti-consolidation acting FCC Chairman Michael Copps is showing signs of softening on cross-ownership. We explore this issue, and the FCC’s new National Broadband Plan.

This week is an encore edition originally broadcast Oct. 9, 2008:
There is a group of motivated radio lovers in Chicago who think that the city needs a real community radio station, independent of a college, university or other organization that might change its mind about who can be on the radio. Shawn Campbell is the president of the Chicago Independent Radio Project, and she joins me this week to talk about why Chicago needs community radio, and how they hope to squeeze a new noncommercial station onto the dial.
