[EFN-Collaboration] Information Centers-Newswire

[Julie Alive with Energy]

Micheal,

 

I liked their mission statement:

 

Indymedia is a collective of independent media organizations and
hundreds of journalists offering grassroots, non-corporate coverage.
Indymedia is a democratic media outlet for the creation of radical,
accurate, and passionate tellings of truth.

 

Can you say more about them being a next generation application for this
platform?  I assume you are thinking about a newswire platform, yes?

 

Summary from recent e-mails:

Michael suggested we look at this link: HYPERLINK
"http://www.indymedia.org/en/index.shtml"http://www.indymedia.org/en/ind
ex.shtml

In response to us looking at a link about information centers: HYPERLINK
"http://www.poynter.org/column.asp?id=31&aid=113411"
\nhttp://www.poynter.org/column.asp?id=31&aid=113411   Which is a new
way of turning your newspaper into an information center.  

We are looking at how we might develop Pravin’s newswire idea – could it
fit with Brandon’s new wiki concept for an EFN newswire for/with/by EFN
members.  

When following up on information centers this link, we were directed to
talk with Jennifer Carroll at Gannett network: HYPERLINK

Cheers,  Julie
