Frequently Asked Questions About Independent Media

Please reach us at gjfrangoulis@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Independent media refers to news outlets, publications, and broadcasting, often non-profit, that are free from government, corporate, or partisan control. These entities include outlets like 404 Media, The Nation, Mother Jones, and 

Democracy Now!


Key characteristics of independent media include:


  • No Corporate or State Control: Outlets are not influenced by advertisers, parent companies, or government officials, allowing journalists to freely hold powerful entities accountable.
  • Alternative Funding Models: Instead of relying on traditional advertising or billionaire owners, independent journalism is frequently funded by reader donations, non-profit grants, subscriptions, or public broadcasting.
  • Grassroots and Diverse Perspectives: often amplifies marginalized voices, grassroots movements, and local issues that are frequently overlooked by mainstream corporate news.
  • Diverse Formats: Independent media exists across various media,  including digital publications, investigative non-profit organizations, community radio, and independent video channels. 



Independent media marketing is essential for small businesses, as it helps increase brand awareness, reach a wider audience, and engage with customers on a more personal level.

Independent Media Today creates individualized media strategies by conducting thorough research on the target audience, analyzing competitors, and identifying the most effective platforms and content types for the business.

George Frangoulis is the founder and CEO of Independent Media Today. He is also currently the owner and Publisher of The Evergreen Press in Albion, Maine. In 1973, he launched the Farmstead Press. a magazine and book publishing company. Its pilot publication was Farmstead Magazine, the

national journal of home gardening and small farming.


In 1988, he merged Farmstead Magazine with The Mother Earth News. That year he also began an academic career as a university professor of journalism and publishing at the University of Alabama’s College of Communication.


He is an alumnus of The University of Michigan and holds degrees in English, journalism and media studies. He taught college classes for over 30 years. These also include stints at the University of Montevallo and Judson College, until recently retiring from Thomas College in Waterville, Maine.
