Reporting big events

Reporting big events has been one of the projects of imc uk since it started on Mayday 2000. Across the uk network and other local collectives there's a wealth of experience in direct on the ground reporting, media centre logistics, as well as virtual support - from j18 and seattle in 1999, through the many major european mobilisations from prague to genoa, to further afield international mobilisations and the global anti-war movements.

Below are a set of reports, recommendations and guides:
