All in all, through this website, and our other outlets, The Montegonian aims to provide for this city an information and resource network that will reduce the city's dependence on corporate media, providing more meaningful and reliable ways to stay informed on the issues that matter.
The Montegonian uses the power of print and media as a platform to raise awareness of important social, environmental, and media-related issues not covered by the mainstream news. Our goal is to provide citizens with the information and perspectives essential to creating a more just, sustainable, and democratic society.
On the ground, our team is working to create alternative media that will inform, connect, and inspire action at both the community level and state wide, possibly even regionally.
