Anarchomedia -Irish Anarchist Newswire

Otto Ruhles | 01.02.2004 09:53 | World

What is Anarchomedia

Anarchomedia provides a common, interactive platform for anarchists in Ireland to post reports and to facilitate publication from anarchos who don't have the ability to publish themselves, e.g. without the necessary skills/time for websites, the copier access for newsletters, or the collective strength of organisation on the struggle towards an anarchist society and against the current forms of oppression; capitalism, gender isolation, racism and environmental degredation. Not to concentrate solely on the negative, Anarchomedia also carries reports on what is being done by anarchists and ordinary people to bring an end to this system of exploitation. Reports on Anarchomedia cover a wide range of issues and topics – from community organising to international mobilisations against capital, from anti-war activism to environmental activism.

The Workings of Anarchomedia

The content on Anarchomedia is created by a collective going under the guise of the Anarchomedia Collective. Unlike Indymedia, Anarchomedia does not operate an “open publishing” newswire but a moderated newswire where the content is posted by the collective of editors. While not wanting to be critical of the concept of “open publishing” we want a media where a certain level of reporting can always be expected by our readers. By having a closed newswire we can also effectively rule out the presence of trolls and spamming of the newswire. Readers can post comments on the articles posted to the site allowing for open debate on the newswire.

Other Services

Anarchomedia also offers other services to the anarchist & activist community in Ireland. As well as anarchist news, Anarchomedia features forums to move debate from the newswire. The forums exist to allow for debate between anarchists and anyone else who wishes to visit the site. Find these at:

 http://anarchomedia.myikonboard.com/viewboard.php

The newswire also features notifications for upcoming events. Organisers of events should contact the collective and we will publicise the event on the site.

While all of the above are now ready for visitors and participation (only a few articles are online at the moment, be patient more will come) we are now working on putting together several sections that will have an abundance of information on anarchism and the anarchist scene in Ireland. Anarchomedia will supply its visitors with a directory of publications by anarchists/anti-authoritarian individuals or groups, a list of active anarchist/anti-authoritarian/grassroots groups, an introduction to anarchism and information on book shops and autonomous/radical zone’s around the island.

Getting Involved

Anarchomedia needs more editors as we don’t yet have a full house. If you think you have what it takes to be an anarchomedia editor and agree to the editorial policy then email us, tell us all about yourself, who you are, where you’re from, why you wanna get involved, organisations, groups or campaigns your involved in and whatever else you can think we might need/want to know.
It is important that as many anarchists as possible (either those living in Ireland, or interested in Irish anarchism) get involved with the day to day upkeep of the site. If you use the site, then try and lend a hand in maintaining it.


If you’re interested, here’s a little bit of info on the collective:


- The Anarchomedia collective work on a non-hierarchical basis.

- We reject all systems of domination and discrimination and come from varying anarchist tendencies (and no problems!).

- Anarchomedia has been given it’s webspace by comrades in the Anarchist Federation but remains independent from that and any other organisations

- We understand that by lobbying there will be no radical change. As a collective our attitude is assertive, and where necessary confrontational.

- Recruit, recruit, and recruit!!!

- In order to join the collective you must either meet with one of the members of the collective in your area or know one of us.

"recruit recruit recruit"???
don't tell me you've got a fucking paper to sell too...

Could someone remind me what the difference is

02.02.2004 17:31

between "anarchism" and "Trotskyism"?

Cause I sure as hell have forgotten - as it seems even though both types hate the other, they seem quite similar, maybe anarchism is a Trotskyist group of sorts...

not an "ist" of any description
