title: Media Island Launches New Site

Olympia's <a href="http://www.mediaisland.org">Media Island</a> has 
relaunched its <a href="http://www.mediaisland.org">website</a>, with a 
spiffy new format incorporating open publishing and syndicated features 
from the Seattle, <a href="http://portland.indymedia.org">Portland</a> and 
<a href="http://www.indymedia.org">Global Indymedia</a> sites, as well as 
local/regional progressive news and activist resources. The site relaunch 
is part of a project to join forces with <a 
href="http://www.olynetwork.com">OlyNetwork</a>, a South Puget Sound 
activist calendar and directory. Founded in 1984, Media Island is the 
forerunner and sponsor of many community media projects; in 1999 the group 
played a foundational role in setting up the first Independent Media Center 
office and website in Seattle. The group's Olympia premises, open to the 
public, house a library, computer training facilities and meeting space.
