DiY News Workshops | Brum Indymedia's TWiki Workspace | Indymedia UK



The collective held a series of DiY news workshops on Thursday May 26th where people learnt about the historical background of indymedia. The collective gave a tour of the website, the mailing lists and demonstrated how to publish news. There were also workshops on how to use the TWiki collaborative workspace and Internet Relay Chat (IRC). The workshops ended with an introduction to story writing and reflections about how we should report news and engage with the community as an independent media centre.
