Radio was yesterday, during the General Strike, a useful carrier of information... but not through the mainstream frequencies and the professional journalists, who participated in the strike, but through a "movement radio", which featured dozens of protesters reporting on the phone. Whoever managed to tune on 98.1 FM Athens yesterday, followed the terrible situation in the center of Athens, the beating up, the arrests, the announcement from the Nikaea Hospita concerning the demonstrator whose life is being threatened, the following solidarity actions all around Greece. One would wonder how much of this information would have actually been heard, if the mainstream news had operated.
