The Truth in Media Project (http://benswann.com/truth-in-media-project-launches-in-concord-nh/) is headed up by Ben Swann (http://benswann.com/), an award-winning former Cincinnati television reporter (http://www.fox19.com/), who, along with others, has raised more than $250,000 to create a new network to create “truthful” news for the web and television news stations. The group will focus on creating at least 100 high-quality video projects, about five to six minutes in length, to share with other networks. The group came to New Hampshire to cap its fundraising campaign at The Draft (http://www.draftsportsbar.com/) on South Main Street on July 26, officially launching the project.
“(It’s) an attempt to bring truth to media, through streaming sites, through local news stations, across the Internet,” Swann said. “When I say truth, I mean cutting through the left-right paradigm.”
Tyrel Ventura, a producer who has worked on a number of projects including his father, Jesse Ventura’s, TruTV series, “Conspiracy Theory (http://www.trutv.com/shows/conspiracy-theory/index.html),” as well as a number of movies, is also working with Swann. He said he signed up in an effort to shed light on some of the country’s most pressing issues of the day and to also focus on alternative issues.
A number of speakers touched up on other media issues like bias in the mainstream media and Washington press corps, corporate radio and television stations, profit versus nonprofit structures, programming, technology and new media, and the Internet. Carla Gericke, the president of the Free State Project (http://freestateproject.org/fsn10), spoke, as did James Gray (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_P._Gray), the 2012 vice presidential candidate for the Libertarian Party, who talked via Skype.
The event was put on by Ben's Lebanon, NH based go to firm for website work and marketing, Fanconx (http://fanconx.com/).
Here is the promo flyer that was being handed out at the event.
