"This is the blueprint for a revolution in the creation and distribution of media. We will discuss how and why to produce your own television using free tools, and explore how to use Community Television as an instrument for social change.

This text is divided in to three sections: A manual, a meta-manual, and a look back. These can be consumed in any order."

I think @ajroach42 secretly planted this book binding stapler which I discovered in #ThisOldClownHouse yesterday, in hopes that we might create a zine.

It might work...

The thing that most strikes me as I read these counterculture publications and analysis thereof is this idea that "The Internet" or "computers" will do a thing.

No.

The Internet will not dissolve monopolies or bureaucracy. The Internet is a tool. People can use that tool to do things, but it will be people that do the things.

#diymedia is important to me specifically because it is about putting people in the position to create media for themselves and their community. The Media won't save us, people will.

“[Zines are] a vehicle for knowledge, for skill-sharing [and for] collaborating,” Smith-Vaughn said. “We could all make one page of a zine and put it together and make this time capsule of a moment.”
