>Hi people!
>
>The magazine "Media Development" (check 
>http://www.wacc.org.uk/publications/md/md2003-1/contents.html) will 
>publish its autumn edition with a focus on Indymedia. It seems they would 
>like to portray some local Indymedias in more depth, and for that they are 
>asking for an article on Indymedia UK specifically!
>
>That article should focus on some of the specifics of Indy UK, some of the 
>characteristics that make it stand out form other IMCs. For example, what 
>would come to my mind would be: history (J18, then first IMC this side of 
>the Atlantic, starting as "Maydaymedia" etc.) --- Public Access Terminals 
>on Mayday and in Prague --- radio programmes, possibly mentioning both the 
>different 2 London shows on Resonance FM (and recently: Sheffield!) --- 
>decentralisation in the UK. However they are not looking for a pure 
>advertising text highlighting all the great things that happened, but also 
>for self-criticism and critical reflection.
>
>Older texts about Indy UK could be incorporated in this as well... or used 
>as a base for further development... For example, the text that was 
>written for the We are Everywhere book... What we will probably do 
>regarding the Indy Germany article is that one person (guess who...) will 
>take on writing a basic structure and will then ask various other people 
>in the project to contribute text parts on certain issues.
>
>Media Development is published by WACC - the World Association of 
>Christian Communication. This is a London-based NGO which is very active 
>globally in media and communication issues. It is one of the most active 
>members in the CRIS campaign (Communication Rights in the Information 
>Society) which represents a network of some of the most radical NGOs 
>working around the WSIS (World Summit on the Information Society). One of 
>the counter-events for the WSIS - the World Forum on Communication Rights 
>- will be organised by CRIS. So, they are very open-minded, quite radical, 
>very nice people, and, I guess, some of our closest allies in the NGO 
>world. (They are certainly not very openly christian...).
>
>Please contact Pradip Thomas at WACC about the article and about Media 
>Development: "pt at wacc.org.uk". Deadline is 1 September, so better 
>contact him soon.
