As the Free Press goes to press, the Antioch College Alumni Association has raised $12 million in donations and pledges in an effort to keep the socially-conscious college from closing next year.

Mysteries still surround Antioch’s rapid and poorly explained closing. The Board has bizarrely turned to the “marketing, branding and public relations firm” of Simpson Scarborough to peddle the closing decision.

SimpsonScarborough CEO Christopher Simpson previously worked as an editor and writer for the notoriously right-wing Washington Times – a newspaper owned by Rev. Sun Myung Moon. The dark side of Moon, a self-proclaimed Messiah, is well-documented in the public record. A 1977 congressional report placed Moon on the payroll of the Korean CIA. Moon also has financial ties to former CIA Director George H.W. Bush. Read more

We need your donations for the Columbus and Central Ohio Community Radio Project

Any way you look at it, there’s simply not enough variety in our local
broadcast spectrum. Radio in Central Ohio is dominated by right wing
propagandists and commercial mediocrity. Columbus needs broadcast
outlets that provide uncensored news/analysis and grassroots
multicultural programming.

The Neighborhood Network is applying for a full-power radio license to
increase our broadcast opportunities.

The FCC has opened a small window for nonprofit groups to apply for
full-power radio licenses until October 19!

We need to raise $5000 to complete the filing requirements: attorney
fees, engineer fees and filing fees.

The Neighborhood Network, a non-profit media organization currently
supplies programming for the Low Power FM Community Radio Station and
is a Pacifica Radio Network affiliate. Please support our efforts to
build the community media infrastructure in Central Ohio.

   Your donation of $25, $50, $100 or more is appreciated!

Admission is FREE
Documentary films brought to you by the Free Press and the Drexel Gateway
Every third Thursday at 7:00PM

Thursday, October 18 showing: “How Ohio Pulled It Off”

How Ohio Pulled It Off chronicles the theft of the presidency, the public outcry that followed, and the rise and fall of notorious Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell, the “Katherine Harris” of Ohio in 2004. Infuriated by official malfeasance and partisan indifference, citizens took swift action. Multitudes protested in the streets, the voting rights movement was revitalized, and the powers-that-be were forced to pay attention. The story continues today, casting a shadow of uncertainty on the 2008 election and beyond.
Produced by Ohio University students, featuring many central Ohio voters and activists
