Greetings video heads,
I'm writing you from the control tower of INN in "Lenny's World" the studio newsroom for INN reports:
Lenny is a nyc imc video team member who hosted the WEF Video and Audio team convergence at his soundstage. He's been working on an alternative news network concept for the past 6 months now, and it is almost ready to launch It is basically an international CNN with a strong anti-globalization message reinforced and borrowing legitimacy from selected international online publications as well as supported IMC stories.
The show is for television sat&cable broadcast as well as inet live broadcast. It comes in the handy easy to use package (trad. newsroom look&feel) and looks awfully straight forward with newscasters reading copy and switching to footage. This is not to be confused with trojan horse or wolf in sheeps clothing. INN seems to think that the message is shared by a much larger group than just activists and just a little re-packaging will support and legitimize views they already may have and perhaps activate or reactivate them.
He is looking for contributing video to help tell the stories that are burning issues for the movement and for the world. He would like people to help develop a stringers network, make available your footage from current events as well as potential daily news in your region. Full attribution to the team/person and imc is guaranteed. If a full story is submitted with footage, in order to keep it whole it must be short 2-4 min segments. No documentaries please. All usage will be approved with the contributer before airing. If you are interested in participating in the INN by contributing footage or segments or other, contact me or INN.
Footage can be sent via the internet. (There may actually be some money soon for contributers.) INN has developed a compression scheme that it has used to send very broadcastable clips anound the planet (not those little reals ect.)and except for bandwith, comprssion and delivery is free. As soon as we get any response we will forward all free software and detailed instructions and links for ftp delivery (a mirror of these higher bandwith segments can also reside on the imc central video server for recuts by individual imc's. The system works best with any dvcam(firewire or usb) any modern mac and any bandwith over 56k. a windows version is easily do-able but there is no free software yet. Email me or call me or lenny if you have any questions

Thanks. I hope to hear from some of you. This is a good
opertunity to help build a grass roots news program to get the
truth out to the people.
Peace,
Justin from nyc imc
