THE PITCH

SEE THE SPOT US WIKI FOR MORE DETAILS

Short description: Indy Arts & Media will head a Bay Area Political Advertisement Tactical Unit from Labor Day until the elections (10 weeks).

The outcome: Increased voter awareness in San Francisco, through investigative coverage and fact-checking of local political advertisements (mail, Internet and broadcast), and the issues and money behind them


The final content will be FREE for anyone to republish.


Note from Spot.Us: Pledges will only be charged if we reach our campaigns goal – so your donation will either be meaningful or never occur. This is a chance for the citizens of San Francisco to not just demand meaningful coverage, but band together to make it happen.
