Unconventional Action Announces Post-Election Special Edition Newspaper

The newly formed Unconventional Action Journalism Department is proud to announce the printing of a special edition election coverage broadsheet for release on November 5th, 2008. This double-sided newspaper-size publication, designed to serve as the front page of any corporate newspaper, will present dramatic post-election day coverage about the results of the presidential race. It will also include timely reporting from an anarchist perspective on the economic bailout and grassroots responses to the financial crisis, media consolidation, the prison industrial complex, and updates from the UAP newswire.

Thousands of these broadsheets will be printed and made available to corporate newspapers around the country, which will have the option of providing more “fair and balanced” coverage with this alternative front page. As of our press deadline, Unconventional Action media representatives in over a dozen cities have confirmed their participation in this effort to broaden post-election day coverage, with many more requests pouring in. Of course, the UA Journalism Department is aware that we cannot ensure that all requests for these papers come from corporate media outlets, but in the interest of providing the American public with thorough news coverage, we are willing to take this risk.

To participate in this post-election media effort, contact the Unconventional Action Press Office at unconventionalmedia@yahoo.com. Gathering a committed group of media representatives in your area and ordering 50-100 broadsheets per participant will help ensure that press coverage on November 5 accurately reflects the state of electoral politics in the US. There will be a suggested donation to help cover the costs of printing and shipping. The Press Office will also be available to assist local media representatives with distribution strategies and coordinated media outreach.
