** IMC Ottawa regular meeting
Thursday, September 19, 2002
6:30 PM to 12:00 PM

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 posting their own article. There are about 50 IMCs all arround the world, giving a voice to those who do not have one 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 since April 2001 and post their articles on the website. You can post your own articles too by clicking on "Post a story".

Help is needed for:
- Journalists / Activists-journalists
- Audio & video recording
- Technical help
- Facilitating & coordinating
- Networking with other community groups
- Communicating with other IMCs
- Photography
- and anything else you can think of.
