About this page (en)
This New IMC information page has been set up to help YOU* learn more about the Indymedia Network. This site is put together and kept up to date by various members of the network, but primarily by the New IMC working group. Our hope it that this information will introduce you to an overview of Indymedia but also to what to expect from the New Imc Process. This working space is ever evolving and is the first step towards understanding not only Indymedia values and the common ground that enables us to be a network, but also a bit about how the network itself works and what that means for each local IMC.
Please have your local collective or the group of people interested in joining the Indymedia Network read over the draft document
So you want to start an IMC? (en) (fr) before filling out this form. If you have questions, you can send email to the new-imc mailing list. We know that the process can be confusing for newcomers and we're trying to make it as open and transparent a process as possible. Please remember that we are all volunteers who work in indymedia and often are busy with our local IMCs as well.
*YOU* does not refer to an individual person; it means the collective requesting to be a member of the IMC Network.
NETWORK OVERVIEW - THEORY AND PRACTICE (en)
The strength of the IMC as a concept comes directly from its organizational structure; namely, a decentralized network of autonomous collectives whose shared resources allow for the creation of a social and digital infrastructure that is independent of state and market forces. It is our intention as a media movement to build out this structure so that, on the one hand, we have local IMC's throughout the world that are autonomous in their decision making while, on the other hand, we are united in a network form of organization that allows for collaboration on a level previously reserved for state and corporate interests. The extent the network is effective in challenging abusive systems of power is directly related to our ability to create decentralized structures. It is our ability to be flexible and simultaneously united that has proven effective.
However, it cannot be understated that in order for collaboration to occur network wide, there needs to exist a set of guidelines and a process by which we all agree to work. Quite frankly, it is necessary to resist any efforts by a local collective, for example, that wishes to develop a non-participatory, top-down structure, or would like to create a corporation out of a local IMC. To this end, we have developed guidelines for network participation in the form of two crucial documents: the
PrinciplesOfUnity and the
MembershipCriteria. These documents, in a sense, are a pact amongst media activists that allow for the network to exist. It is under these assumptions that we are united yet autonomous.
PROCEDURA NEW IMC - JAK TO DZIAŁA (pl)
So that you can know what to expect, here's a brief description of the current process that the New IMC Working Group follows. Because we're all humans and we rely on our diverse communication styles, this is not designed to be a perfect science, but rather to be democratic, transparent and flexible. This process has been evolving as we continue to improve the process and to incorporate helpful feedback from participants.
Please feel free to ask any questions you have that will help you through this process. You can either
email the list or contact any of the people who have sent you either the general information or tech information.
- Przed-organizacja: pierwszy krok jest mówić z osobami w waszym społeczeństwie i pytać się czy istnieje chęcie w tworzenie IMC. Po tworzenie kolektyw, lub w tym samym czasie, zadać sobie tych pytanie:
- (1A) Czy jest w waszym kolektywie osoby z rozmaitych części społeczeństwa lokalnej (np w sensie tożsamości płci, religijna/duchowa, i/lub kulturalna)?
- (1B) If your group currently does not represent the diversity of the local community, particularly in relation to groups who are underrepresented in mainstream society and denied access to vehicles of expression, what steps will be taken to address this on an ongoing basis?
- (1C) What steps will be taken to involve individuals in workfields new to them? What measures will be taken to overcome a gendered work division?
- Look at the documents linked at this site (see below).
- When you think you're really ready to do some good organizing, fill out the form at the bottom of the http://newimc.indymedia.org page. The person filling out the form and the person written as contact will receive a password for updating the http://contact.indymedia.org database. Please keep this password carefully.
- Open a mailing list: http://newlist.indymedia.org (If there are problems you can try emailing http://lists.indymedia.org/mailman/listinfo/listwork .) Please read NewImcMailingListIssues about openness of the list.
- O - R - G - A - N - I - Z - E !!!!
- With your forming collective, write
- When you're really ready, and only when you're ready, reply to each of the MembershipCriteria points one by one, and send to new-imc@indymediaSTOPSPAM.org .
- Your new-imc contact proposes your site
- The fun begins. Get involved in the global lists and Indymedia discussions and decisions. Offer to work with other IMCs from your area or elsewhere around the world. Do good work.
- Change the world, for the better of course. We wouldn't expect anything less.

PROVISIONAL IMC NETWORK DOCUMENTS
These are the documents that you should download once you have sent in the form and introduction below. The
PrinciplesOfUnity and the
MembershipCriteria are the documents that we ask your collective to carefully review, comment on and send back to the New-IMC list. You should take your time reviewing these documents. This is not a casual step. You are becoming a member of an international network. And while we operate in a decentralized, non-hierarchical way, we are also part of a network that shares resources, solidarity and support. Hopefully these documents will give you a good idea of what Indymedia is all about.
Here are some translations of some of these documents in: English | Nederlands | français | Italiano | 日本語 | Espanol | Portugese | bahasa Melayu | bahasa Indonesia | po polsku | Basque
membership criteria h. and i. - global communication
- h. and i. The global communication methods (and possibly a decision-making process) are still very much unclear - your constructive participation could help make them clearer. It's a matter of practice to see how they evolve.
- i. There should be one person from your local IMC on http://lists.indymedia.org/mailman/listinfo/imc-communication as a liaison, who reports back and forth, and does a task of communication and summarising and maybe translating between the global list and the local IMC, but does not substitute his/her personal decisions for those of the local IMC. ("imc-commmunications" is a spelling error; "imc-communication" is correct)
- h. If you have one person on the http://lists.indymedia.org/mailman/listinfo/imc-communication mailing list, then that person will be aware of global IRC meetings and can either participate him/herself, or contact the spokesperson(s) in h. if that person is different.
- i. The standard recommendation for other key lists includes:
- your regional list, please see ImcRegionalisationRegionalMailingLists, e.g.
OTHER IMPORTANT BACKGROUND DOCUMENTS
These background and general information documents are useful for any
new IMC collective and can be a resource for a long time.
TECH SIDE OF THINGS
The Global IMC-Tech collective can help provide you with servers and software setup or get you connected with people who can help you. Don't think you're on your own, we're here to help. If you have techies then we could use your help too.
CONTACT METHODS, MORE INFORMATION
NEW IMC FORM
After your collective reviews the above information and you're ready to do some good organizing, (
step 3 above) please fill out the form at the bottom of
http://newimc.indymedia.org and answer the questions, including a first draft of an introductory/mission statement.
NOTE: All information entered in the form will be publicly archived at http://lists.indymedia.org/. Please provide only information that can be made public.
EXAMPLES OF INTRODUCTORY/MISSION STATEMENTS
We'd like your group to draft up a statement or essay or short story (any style you'd like) that expresses why you are interested in starting an IMC in your city or region and why you want to join the indymedia network. Later in the process, before we send the application on to the IMC-Process and imc-communication lists, we will ask for an introduction to your IMC. You can have the same mission statement/introduction for both purposes. Or you can revise it for both purposes (nothing is set in stone - we're hopefully always evolving this process and improving it). Hopefully, the second version will represent a wider participation of a variety of individuals and groups than the first.
Doing this will help us (the new-imc working group, and then the whole network) better get to know you. A short essay will tell us much more about your ideas for participating in the IMC network than just the formal answers. This should be written with the approval of the collective who wants to start up the IMC.
Here are some examples:
