Indymedia

COMING SOON!! Indymedia Liverpool will be part of the worldwide network of Independent Media Centres (IMC's), it will mainly focus on Liverpool and Merseyside, and is also an intermediary for information from other parts of the UK and the world. The main element of Indymedia Liverpool will be the website; and the platform generates a variety of other activities including video-production, film-screenings, printed materials and public interventions.
Indymedia provides an interactive platform for reports from the struggles for a world based on freedom, cooperation, justice and solidarity, and against environmental degradation, neoliberal exploitation, racism and patriarchy. The reports cover a wide range of issues and social movements – from neighbourhood campaigns to grassroots mobilisations, from critical analysis to direct action.
The Indymedia is a collective of an expanding group of DIY media workers which operates within a network of radical UK media groups, individual contributors and IMC supporters.

The Indymedia collective administers the site and aims to live up to the following principles:

  • the Indymedia Liverpool collective works on a non-hierarchical basis
  • we reject all systems of domination and discrimination
  • we acknowledge that the struggle for a better world takes many forms. The focus of the Indymedia Liverpool collective is on grassroots politics, actions and campaigns
  • the Indymedia Liverpool collective does not have any ties with political parties or larger NGO's
  • we understand that by lobbying there will be no radical change.

As a collective our attitude is assertive, and where necessary confrontational Inherent in the mainstream corporate media is a strong bias towards Capitalism's power structures, and it is an important tool in propagating these structures around the globe. While the mainstream media conceal their manifold biases and alignments, we clearly state our position. Indymedia Liverpool does not attempt to take an objective and impartial standpoint: Indymedia Liverpool clearly states its subjectivity.
