Something BADLY Needed in Arizona:The workshop is both an introductory session on utilizing the Indymedia site for your group or individual projects, and a media skills information exchange. Indymedia activists will be on hand to explain how the site works, what it can do for you and your group, and to familiarize you with Indymedia’s mission. There will also be a media skills session on reporting and self-editing.

Indymedia is a young, dynamic, democratic, voluntary interactive news group with websites around the world. The Western Mass IMC (http://www.wmass.indymedia.org) is an excellent resource for both delving into the issues of the day and promoting your events and activity. The IMC advances social, economic, and environmental justice by providing a local forum for people to publish writing, photos, audio, video, and art traditionally marginalized by corporate media. They are guided by the Principles of Unity set forth by the Global IMC and by a sense of social responsibility. The Wmass IMC has the following goals:
* Report grassroots events, issues and culture from a people's perspective in a truthful accurate manner.
* Provide media production resources to members of the Western Mass. community who are disenfranchised from corporate media.
* Educate and inform the public about local and global news via the wmass.indymedia.org website.
* Form alliances with other local media outlets who also seek to break the information bottleneck of corporate media.
The Western Mass Indymedia Skills Workshop will show you how we put these goals to work.
Log-on to: http://www.wmass.indymedia.org and check out the site. Like we say at Indymedia, don't suffer from the media, BE THE MEDIA!
