Vald Teichberg, the guru behind OWS media

"I don't think you can ever rely on mainstream media to broadcast your message. That's why we have created our own". 39-year old Vlad Teichberg, former trader on Wall Street, is now spearheading the online livestreaming of the various "Occupy" demonstrations around the world. He is headquartered in New York.

Vlad Teichberg is not alone in building the live stream channel. He has a small but dedicated team working with him, particularly Melissa Ulto, seen below with Vlad.

I wrote a profile story of Vlad in the French weekly paper Marianne.
