About this event

Is there a way to make strange, irreverent, investigative journalism and free the news from its corporate shackles? Can the alt-weekly be revived in the era of private equity and distressingly litigious billionaires? Max Rivlin-Nadler, a cofounder of the local, worker-owned NYC outfit, Hell Gate, talks about how to start up a worker-owned site and the potential pitfalls of going it on your own.
