4. Yes, I think I wrote an OP on DU2 about it when the first issue was published.

They were sold out immediately and the next week they had to double their numbers.

There were some great photos of people reading it on the subways, on buses. I am not sure if they are still issuing the printed version in NY, but not long ago, I think Chicago and SF started their own also.

Here's the site The Occupied Wall Street Journal

Here's their media site with recent news: Occupied Media

I think this is the RT Documentary on the OWS Journal, but my plug ins aren't working on Google so I can't view it http://rt.com/usa/news/occupied-wall-street-journal-911/ I hope that's it.

And this is the Chicago edition which they started in January:

Occupied Chicago Tribune

The first issue:

First Issue of Occupied Wall Street Journal

It's a professionally done newspaper. I hope they advertise it more as it was a great idea. Iow, they realized you can't fight the media, so they started their own. I love the idea and hope it continues to grow. There's a lot more info but hope this helps
