An Unveiling: The New Texas Radical

Written by DC Tedrow

Thursday, 17 January 2008

In 2006, some friends and I produced a newsprint magazine called Turning the Tide, which went through four issues before it went defunct in the face of insane work hours and my increased involvement with Portside Books Collective (also defunct).

Now that I'm at UT, I've been involved with some other groups and started a successor to Turning the Tide. I invite everyone reading this to visit The New Texas Radical (TNTR):

http://www.newtexasradical.org/

From TNTR's About page:

The New Texas Radical is a radical news website based in Austin, Texas. This publication aims to discuss political, social, economic, and cultural themes relevant to Texas from radical viewpoints; to expand community understanding of these themes; to provide a voice for activists and citizens committed to spreading social justice by helping to overthrow capitalism, class, white power, patriarchy, homophobia, xenophobia, war, and other deep-rooted institutional failures; and to help build a libertarian socialist movement.
As a publication, we embrace advocacy journalism, or the practice of using fact-based arguments to support certain views and causes. In particular, we side with History’s Losers: the poor, the oppressed, minorities, workers, women, and children. In this way, we are openly biased against reactionaries and committed to social justice.

Interesting in submitting work? Look no further.

Even if you're not interested in submitting, please, please circulate the link for this website. Send it to your friends, relatives, fellow activists, whatever progressive and radical listservs you read, etc. Post it on your blog. Drop the name "New Texas Radical" in coversations with coworkers. Just go wild with it, basically. We hold to a certain standard of writing absent from most Indymedia websites, and the few submissions we've had so far have all been excellent. With some work and promotion, this could very well become the Texas version of ZNet. (Speaking of which, ZNet has undergone a dramatic overhaul. Check out ZCommunications - it's absolutely amazing and deserves our support.)
