"As any vilified May Day protester will attest, there are two sides to each story - low production costs in webcasting mean the "other" side can often be heard online. Polemical without descending into diatribe, the Guerrilla News Network covers evergreen topics such as the war on drugs, civil liberties and the environment. These are sexed-up productions described as "music videos for people who think" - the founders met at MTV. Content is split between articles and snappy mini documentaries, such as The Diamond Life (examining the role of the gem trade in Sierra Leone's brutal civil war), that have played at film festivals around the world." - "Wired Into Current Affairs: James Knight sniffs out required reading for newshounds." Sunday Times (London)
"A Salon with balls." Vice magazine
"No one covers the war on terror like GNN." San Francisco Bay Guardian
