NO NEW ROUND RADIO - 9 November 2001 starting from 15:00 GMT
distributed independent radio coverage on WTO

A global coordinated distributed effort to cover no-wto actions and
countersummits, where any free independent media can join in taking up
part of the 24 hour programming.

This is the only independent broadcast platform covering the WTO
conference, which is quite possibly a defining meeting between the
west, the developing world and Islam. The anti-globalisation movement
has never had a voice in the area, so this is an important
opportunity to build up relations with the arab world. We hope the
IMC network makes the most of this and we make true progress in being
a true global independent news media network. Indymedia really does go
where no other news agency will go and thus brings a voice to the
unheard, the dispossessed and from all corners of the planet.

With the help of Indymedia, Greenpeace intends to put on the web at
least 1 hour of English programming a day during the WTO meeting, also
Arabic programming is being planned. The origin of those broadcasts
will be the Greenpeace ship Rainbow Warrior, as it is docked in Doha,
Qatar during the 4th Ministerial meeting of the World Trade
Organization (WTO).

We invite any Indymedia Center to help cover on the global site as
well as on their local sites the events happening in their locations
from nov 9th to nov 13th.
Phone lines will be soon set up to receive incoming calls from all
over the world to report on the various actions: there will be the
possibility to upload audio features on mirrored ftp sites so that
anybody partecipating can share the content produced and radios can
transmit it in any form.

We hope that the coordination will grow to include another
communication means and as much people as possible: it's a big
experiment and it could spawn the idea of keeping this distributed
audio project.

Coordination will take place on
