Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start writing!

This is an example page. It's different from a blog post because it will stay in one place and will show up in your site navigation (in most themes). Most people start with an About page that introduces them to potential site visitors. It might say something like this:

Hi there! I'm a bike messenger by day, aspiring actor by night, and this is my website. I live in Los Angeles, have a great dog named Jack, and I like piña coladas. (And gettin' caught in the rain.)

...or something like this:

The XYZ Doohickey Company was founded in 1971, and has been providing quality doohickeys to the public ever since. Located in Gotham City, XYZ employs over 2,000 people and does all kinds of awesome things for the Gotham community.

As a new WordPress user, you should go to your dashboard to delete this page and create new pages for your content. Have fun!

Indymedia is just too big...

Instead of offering links to all the groups that local IMCs affiliate and work with we have decided only to link directly to other media groups, projects, outlets, allies... and for all other links please check the lists of the local IMCs - they can do a much better job on keeping contacts to local groups anyway.

The links to other media allies is extremely loose and in constant progress of compilation. We know we're missing lots of really great sites... please tell us what they are! Send name, url and a short description to www-features(a)indymedia.org.

For other links: please check the local sites, and tell the local collectives about missing links. If an IMC doesn't appear in the list below, then it didn't have a link page last time we checked.

The Independent Media Center is a network of collectively run media outlets for the creation of radical, accurate, and passionate tellings of the truth. We work out of a love and inspiration for people who continue to work for a better world, despite corporate media's distortions and unwillingness to cover the efforts to free humanity.

History

The Independent Media Center (www.indymedia.org), was established by various independent and alternative media organizations and activists in 1999 for the purpose of providing grassroots coverage of the World Trade Organization (WTO) protests in Seattle. The center acted as a clearinghouse of information for journalists, and provided up-to-the-minute reports, photos, audio and video footage through its website. Using the collected footage, the Seattle Independent Media Center (seattle.indymedia.org) produced a series of five documentaries, uplinked every day to satellite and distributed throughout the United States to public access stations.

The center also produced its own newspaper, distributed throughout Seattle and to other cities via the internet, as well as hundreds of audio segments, transmitted through the web and Studio X, a 24-hour micro and internet radio station based in Seattle. The site, which uses a democratic open-publishing system, logged more than 2 million hits, and was featured on America Online, Yahoo, CNN, BBC Online, and numerous other sites. Through a decentralized and autonomous network, hundreds of media activists setup independent media centers in London, Canada, Mexico City, Prague, Belgium, France, and Italy over the next year. IMCs have since been established on every continent, with more to come.

For more information, see the IMC Frequently Asked Questions.

The vast majority of Indymedia work is done within local collectives, so please try to get in touch with the IMC closest to you whenever possible. You can search through the links in the left hand column or go to volunteer.indymedia.org
