What is the best place to find authentic on the ground live streams of protests? It was easy to find them during 2020 but now all I find it big news companies streaming and sometimes it's just rerun footage. I'm not trying watch social media personalities or mass media.

I would look to many. 2 of them are majors, but they seem legit. The last 2 are sketchy in that I have no idea who they are.

Associated Press: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXT945ZJNCI (shutdown) New one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXT945ZJNCI

Reuters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSNMZEjRBsk

Agenda-free TV (?): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BrsI2vVHKA

AXN News (?): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kmwdCmOkdQ

Edit:

Look beyond the smoke. Smoke is an easy way to make it look "scary."

Agenda free is alright in terms of not being a msm talking head... I watched him in 2020.

He has an alright channel, good for coverage on big events. Pretty straightforward. he mixes traditional media with social. He streams on Twitch too and Facebook, I think... Just ignore the chat for sanity lol. Also, he used to write for SNL!

I watched this channel during the George Floyd stuff, glad to see them back.

If youtube isn't giving the results you want, I would use https://inv.nadeko.net/. I can search "LA Live" I can find at least a few channels that aren't corporate like: "Dad's Gone Live", "Agenda Free Media", and also an associated press stream, but not sure if that's what you want.

The few times I've been around for the organising of live streams, we've either done it directly to our own socials and/or an independent journo might come and either stream or record some stuff, but I don't think I ever got their names when that's been organised ahead of time.

At one I attended, the organisers provided burner phones for people to livestream an action, I believe to their personal accounts? I never saw the footage of it though.

I spent the entire day on the Citizen app.
