Props where props is due

I'm listening to Sunday Salon on KPFA. They are broadcasting from the KPFA Crafts and Music Fair. Larry Bensky is interviewing this guy from the First Amendment Project about Josh Wolf's case. The guy is using terms like "self-published" to talk about how Josh first got the info out about his case. Well, guess what? He first self-published to Indybay.org first, and my understanding is that this was how the corporate media that bought some of his footage had found him.

We at Indybay are so bad about doing outreach and networking- we should be there this weekend. Doh! It's just not the same to send an email to someone to be like, "HEY! Don't forget Indybay!"

Shockingly, when you google Josh Wolf, Indybay only shows up 5th - usually we are a bit higher. The first three sites listed in the results are Josh's site and the wiki that his supporters maintain. 4th is SF Gate, the SF Chronicle. But, like, considering all the coverage of him all over the world, 5th is pretty good, no?
