My Independent Media Studies course is coming to its end this week and we all did presentations and wrote prospectuses on a new independent media outlet we could start. I'll share two that I liked a lot.
One classmate of mine thought of a website that strictly covered police brutality, particularly against African-Americans. I think it is a topic that is not covered well and a lot of people would be interested in the topic. It could be expanded to any race suffering from police brutality, but doing it for the current cause America is fighting for. Plus it would be educational about the law so people can have a better understanding of what is going on.
The other one I liked was a The Subcultural Digest. I know little about the subculture my classmate was referring to, but she found a big niche to fill. She had done all of her research, knowing exactly how she would organize her websites and what they would provide for the subculture. She can also sell or help sell swag through her website which is appealing. It could also stretch to music and many other things particular to the subculture. Overall, she had the best plan of the presentations I saw.
