Mission Statement

Given the current state of the US mainstream media at large, with its deep allegiance to corporate ownership, undue government influence, and a significant membership within the CFR, it is the independent journalist/broadcaster, who is oftentimes able to reach deeper for a story, due to the lack of binding ties, which in the corporate media, most always leads to censorship in some form or another.

The Independent Media Association (IMA) is an organization to help recognize and support those international journalists and broadcasters who operate without entangling alliances and restrictive influence, seeking the truth without fear of censorship. It also offers a well deserved public pat on the bat, not just for a job well done in reporting a story, but for a job done well in the research and investigation of it, as well as the courage, tenacity, devotion and passion for developing it.

A future goal of the IMA is to support independent media members by providing assistance with specific event accreditation, and IMA press credentials to those members in need. Publishing assistance is another beneficial service being considered.

The primary goal of the IMA is not only to help identify and support those independent journalists/broadcasters who exemplify the standards of reporting integrity and sound journalism within the independent media, but also to perpetuate and promote these necessary ideals, and to encourage and teach others to embrace and support them.

George Orwell’s Six Simple Rules for Writing

(1) Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.

(2) Never use a long word where a short one will do.

(3) If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.

(4) Never use the passive where you can use the active.

(5) Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.

(6) Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.
