Newsflash: Indymedia Working "Within the System"

23-08-2005 14:43

So . . . you're a political activist and you think that it's necessary to use the mainstream media to educate people about certain issues. It seems to make sense that you should use these methods to reach people, because otherwise, who will notice you?

The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly: "What's the Matter with Indymedia?"

08-08-2005 18:37

Here is a companion article to the one published earlier about the ESF in London in 2004. This article looks at problems in the "horizontal" world as the other one graphically highlighted the problems of the "vertical" part of the "another world is possible". I hope people can look and compare and see the very worrying similarities between these supposedly opposite - but parallel roads - of social change.

Don't Give Me No Lip, "What's wrong with Mimicking Corporate Media"

30-07-2005 18:55

-- A response to Jennifer Whitney's article on indymedia, which can be found here

The spirit of critique and wanting to help move indymedia forward is something I really appreciate. However, Jennifer Whitney's article, "The Good, The Bad, & (sic) The Ugly: "What's the Matter with Indymedia?" is one part critique, and two parts personal axe grinding, three parts "Ra! Ra! UC, NYC, 501-c(3) IMC" . Beyond the fact that the article is so deliberately misleading in many ways, it should be critiqued on the facts and arguments that it proposes about editorial policy and the mission of indymedia. To its credit, this article raises some of the right types of questions about indymedia's effectiveness and methods, but to its detriment, gives all the wrong answers. Rather, it gives short sighted answers or all the same 'ol answers.

Fuck Mainstream Media

27-07-2005 19:15

The big corporations have their own goals and interests. It’s not really accurate to say that mainstream media speak on their behalf. It’s more to the point to say that they are one and the same.
