WHO WE ARE:
We are the Chicago Indymedia Video Collective. We operate along the same lines as Indymedia, fostering the same ideals and processes. We are a collective of media producers, activists, videographers and concerned citizens offering your alternative to mainstream corporate coverage of local and international events, movements and expression. In the summer of 2003 the idea of an independent television show, free from corporate bias and serving the needs of the community, was conceived. Chicago Independent Television is the result of that movement.

Our mission is to provide YOUR CORPORATE NEWS ALTERNATIVE.

PLEASE JOIN US!


Our Video Collective typically meets at 7PM every 1st and 3rd Monday of the month.  We encourage individuals interested in contributing to the show to attend a meeting.  Note: We often change meeting venues, so please contact us for details if you want to attend a meeting.
