News

There are three types of news available:

  1. News about CounterCorp
  2. News about corporations
  3. A combination of both

 

1. The Countercorp News e-mail list is the primary source of up-to-date information about CounterCorp programs, events (such as the Film Festival), and other activities and announcements. It is a very low-volume list, rarely exceeding more than one or two messages a month (and usually even less). To subscribe, enter your e-mail address in the subscription form below the News box on the right side of this page.

 

2. The Corporation Watch blog is intended to dispel the still widely held notion that most corporations are generally beneficent, by shining a spotlight on the daily litany* of articles in both the mainstream and alternative press about the nature and effects of corporate power and influence, crime and abuse, and culture and pathology. The easiest way to follow Corporation Watch is via the RSS feed.

 

3. For a mix of both types of news, subscribe to CounterCorp's Twitter feed: the fastest and most immediate way to get alerts about CounterCorp events, programs, and other announcements, as well as news about corporations and public policy.

 

We generally "tweet" more frequently than we send e-mails to the CounterCorp News list (though still not very often), but due to Twitter's 140-character limit, the messages are very brief, and usually include a link to more comprehensive information online.

 

You can subscribe to CounterCorp's Twitter feed at http://twitter.com/countercorp, or you can subscribe to the RSS feed. You can also get the same updates sent to your mobile device by texting "follow CounterCorp" to the number 40404 in the United States.

* Although most mainstream media coverage of corporations and the economy comes from "embedded" business reporters who identify with and rarely question the underlying assumptions of the corporate ethos or the orthodox economic dogma that perpetuates it, there is nonetheless a steady drip of reporting on corporations that offers an insight into their true nature and tendencies.
