MISSION

The Big Muddy Independent Media Center is a grassroots community group dedicated to providing the people of Southern Illinois with an outlet for news, commentary, and dialog about stories and issues that are underrepresented or misrepresented in other media outlets.

We are part of the global Independent Media Center Network. For more information on this network, or to find an IMC in a different area, please use the Global IMC Network links in the left sidebar.

CURRENT PROJECTS

  • Big Muddy News Radio airs every Wednesday at 9am on WDBX 91.1 FM. The show is hosted by Paula and Greg and features independent news and commentary. You can listen to recent episodes and contact the hosts by visiting the Wage Laborer blog."
  • Film Fridays. Join us on Fridays at 7 p.m. for Big Issues on the Big Screen at the Big Muddy IMC. We show films of political and/or cultural significance that offer facts and perspectives that are often underrepresented or misrepresented in the corporate media. Our film showings are sometimes accompanied by a guest speaker and always followed by discussion.
  • Saturday Morning Cartoons on Sunday. Join us Sunday at 8 p.m. for those cartoons you grew up with as a child no matter your age.

MEETINGS

We meet every Wednesday at 6 pm at the Big Muddy Community Center located at 214 N. Washington in Carbondale [map]. New members are always welcome.
