Open Access and Global Tools for Communication

I am going to talk about the concept of IndyMedia as an open access, global tool of communication. Although it has been said that "the real struggles are now happening in the internet", IndyMedia is very much about actions in the streets (public access terminals at demonstrations) and social space. The IndyMedia UK collective sees its work as a process of collective appropriation of information technology. We are working on the technical side, on the editorial concepts, questions of counter information, and aim to make information technology part of direct actions rather than using it from an observer´s point of view.
