About The Commons

Our vision After nearly two years’ planning, Vermont Independent Media (VIM), with the generosity of its friends in Windham County, the volunteer efforts of its writers, editors, photographers, artists and mentors, and the support of local advertisers, has launched both of its programs: The Commons newspaper and the Media Mentoring Project (MMP). VIM’s vision and intent was and is to counter the trend to ever-larger media consolidation and control over locally produced and owned small newspapers and other community media. VIM’s independence permits it to operate right at the grassroots level, encouraging people from all over Windham County to participate in reporting and debating their community’s news and issues. Learn how through the Media Mentoring Project and see the results in The Commons! The newspaper will be published the first Thursday of the month. VIM news and progress can be tracked on the web site. Please join us -- click here to find out ways to help. For more information, please contact us!
