[HacktionLab] Help with Indymedia talk

[m3shrom]

Hi there,

I found this article that I wrote ages ago as a way of promoting 
Indymedia around it's launch.

http://undercurrentsvideo.blogspot.com/2011/12/rise-of-indymedia.html

/    The conclusion? The people set to benefit from the proliferation of 
Indymedia network of sites are not just independent journalists, 
activists and commentators, the spread of such news networks, should 
benefit communities world -wide who are voiceless under the current 
sensational news system and hopefully bring it on for the human race in 
general./

So in terms of reframing, I would say, let's remember the good times!

nice one
Mick

I’ll cover also where it came from, look at it’s heyday (again through personal experience), look at some of the factors behind its demise, and then look at “so what?” Or rather where are we at today? And what’s next?
