The interview begins with Kevin's detailed discussion of the events of 10/15/11 in Times Square. From there, Kevin discusses his experiences covering the movement as well as his thoughts on media and pundit coverage of OWS. I was really taken by Kevin's description of Wall Street as a Green Zone - I've consistently heard this from OWS protesters. We also discuss the "demands" issue, the future of the movement and the role of smaller occupations.
Kevin's reporting is being supported by donation. I think the interview evidences that he's an important voice. So, if you can swing a donation, it's a very worthy cause.

It is Occupied Media's sincere hope that other occupations and/or supporters of OWS will contribute videos to the Occupied Media project - interviews, teach-ins, music videos, etc. Please direct all inquiries and video submissions to:

Excellent job on this.
ReplyDeleteI'll second that: really well done. I was surprised how considerate Mr. Gosztola was on duller, practical matters like physically getting thru the winter and his hope that posters/contributors at firedoglake (and others)would spend more time suggesting ways to keep warm and maintain shelters rather than solely concentrating on the

I really enjoyed this interview. Kevin is impressive.
