A collection of news, campaign/protest, and photo-documentary type images.
"TaW" = "Tilting at Windmills" so "TawNews" represents the newsy-type area of TaW. To explain...
Having become thoroughly disgusted by the bias, spin, and blatant non-reporting of certain types of events on the part of the mainstream media we find ourselves having much greater confidence in the independent, alternative, and "citizen journalist" news sources.
TawNews is our effort toward promoting those sources through links, dynamic feeds, and the occasional reproduction of selected content.
As our own contribution, in some small measure, we also periodically post reportage of our own.
That said, we freely admit to having our own bias... in a direction markedly different to that of the mainstream media!
[P.S. "We", in all instances, is "fotdmike" and a small select bunch of friends!]
