Media Function and New Era

It's been a long time coming... and here it is.

After nearly 6 months of work and hundreds of hours of interviews and research, Knowmore.org is releasing its special report on American Apparel, LLC.

What began with the CEO of the largest garment manufacturer in the United States screaming at me over the phone and calling me an 'information terrorist' has evolved into the most complete Knowmore.org entry to date, and the most comprehensive overview of this controversial company ever published.

Read the report here:

This article represents a huge success for the Knowmore community, and a clear demonstration of what a powerful tool the site could be in the hands of some dedicated guerilla journalists. They are hearing Us.

Enjoy, let me know what you think of it, and stay on the battlefield.

p.s. In total, I spent about $1000 of out of pocket money on this research over the past 4 months... including round trip tickets to LA to visit the company's factory and interview workers and management ... if you appreciate this kind of research and would like to see more of it, please consider making a contribution to Knowmore this month. As I said, this article represents hundreds of hours of work ... and for me personally, and Knowmore collectively, to continue in this vein we're going to need your financial support.

I appreciate your investigation. our media actions are crude physics when it comes to justice, though.

we need to inspire and design the corporate system to make corporations and workers perform well, instead of plugging leaks in a broken swimming pool or 'a hastily thrown together framework of debris' as the modern era is often called.
