News
There are three types of news available from CounterCorp:
1. News about CounterCorp
The e-mail list is the primary source of up-to-date information about CounterCorp programs, events (including the Anti-Corporate Film Festival), and other activities and announcements.
It is a low-volume list, rarely exceeding more than one or two messages a month (and usually even less), except during the Festival. To subscribe, visit .
2. News about corporations
Corporation Watch is a longer form, occasional blog intended to dispel the still widely held notion that most corporations are generally beneficent, by shining a spotlight on the daily litany* of articles in both the mainstream and alternative press about the nature and effects of corporate power and influence, exploitation and abuse, and culture and pathology.

3. A combination of both kinds of news

* Although most mainstream media coverage of corporations and the economy comes from "embedded" business reporters who identify with and rarely question the underlying assumptions of the corporate ethos or the orthodox economic dogma that perpetuates it, there is nonetheless a steady drip of reporting on business and the economy that offers an insight into the true nature and tendencies of corporations.
