>MISSION STATEMENT:
>
>Lancaster IMC
>
>Mission Statement v.1.0
>
>Lancaster Independent Media Centre (Lancaster IMC) is a
>not-for-profit collective made up of various and diverse groups in
>the Lancaster area, including journalists, students, educators, film
>makers, artists, researchers, activists, and concerned human beings.
>Affiliated with the Indymedia network, we cultivate and maintain

>providing grass-roots, non-corporate coverage of "the news".

>With the aim to strengthen the wider Lancaster community, we provide
>a communication hub through which to collect and transmit information
>emanating from the local and global levels.
>We aim to provide services for local independent media producers and
>artists to share the diverse skills involved in all aspects of media
>(e.g., journalism, editing, and computer and information technologies
>and theory) with interested members of the public. In recognition of
>the fact that technical decisions have social and political
>consequences, and that old and new technologies are ambiguous -
>potentially both exclusive and inclusive-, we aim to democratise
>technical skills and languages, and promote those that are, so that
>they are accessible, intelligible and transmittable to and by all.

>We are organised as a collective in which decisions are made by
>consensus and debate through electronic discussion lists, as well as
>at regular face-to-face meetings. We strive to operate with a
>horizontal internal structure, reflecting seriously upon and
>constructively addressing all informal hierarchies that may emerge
>within the organisation.
>Participation in organised activities is open to all; and
>do-it-yourself activities are encouraged.

>We are committed to freedom of and access to information. It is in
