Tired of corporate coverage?

Why not be the media?

The Independant Media Center (IMC) offers an alternative to corporate
media. It effectively bypasses it by allowing individuals to post their
own articles, photos, audio and video clips. There are about 50 IMCs all
arround the world, giving a voice to the people and creating an
alternative source of information and communication network. Anyone can
also comment the
articles that have been posted.

The participants of IMC Ottawa have been covering events for a year now
and posting on IMC Ontario ( http://ontario.indymedia.org ). Current
participant are starting to plan the establishment of an IMC convergence
center as we did for N17. We ultimatley want to have a seperate web site
for Ottawa.

Help is needed for:
- Journalists / Activists-journalists
- Technical help
- Networking with other groups
- Communicating via e-mail and IRC with other IMCs
- Photographs
