At the
Occupy Wall Street
demonstration in Zuccotti Park, you’ll find all of the essentials of a
state-of-the-art protest: drum circles, cheeky and plaintive handwritten
signs, and, next to a thrumming generator, a hub of social media
activity, including
live streaming of the proceedings.
But amid the accouterments of modern political action, you will also
find, of all things, a broadsheet newspaper, The Occupied Wall Street
Journal. It is not some tatty, hand-drawn piece of protest samizdat, but
a professionally produced, four-color, four-page document of the
demonstration, which began on Sept. 17.
