  what about Indymedia?  there are already hundreds of local Independent Media Centers all over the world, already providing a space for community-based participatory media…

  www.indymedia.org

  i find it such a wonder how SO MANY liberal reformists i meet that are completely oblivious to the growth of the Indymedia movement of the past 5 years… completely oblivious.

  and then, a lot of folks who aren’t oblivious, they wind up complaining about Indymedia… the motto of which is “Don’t complain about the media - BE the media!”
