Why no coverage of the Nadeem Khan death?

Nadeem Khan died in police custody on Saturday 30th June, since then there's been a big march through Burnley against police brutality - how come indymedia's not picked up on any of this?

On Saturday 30th June, Nadeem Khan was arrested and taken to Burnley Police Station. He was confirmed dead at Burnley General Hospital. The following Saturday, 1,000 people (according to the Burnley Express, which doesn't really seem that likely to exaggerate) marched through Burnley to demand answers from the police. There seems to have been no coverage of any of this on indymedia, surely someone who lives in Burnley and knows more about it than I do could contribute some more info?

Well, Indymedia is not a news agency, with professional reporters who go and cover stuff. It is an Open Publishing DIY project. So if you are involved with something or know about it, feel free to report it yourself instead of moaning.

imc's and local coverage

yep you're right but, local imc's also have some obligation to cover really important local events like this.

Don't expect us to report on everything though, it is a collaborative effort.

Get out there, and get reporting!

Afteral we're all journalists now.
