Welcome to the new look Bristol Indymedia website. We've redesigned the site so that (hopefully) it looks cleaner and is easier for users to navigate between various types of content, and we've rearranged some of the front page's sections.
Welcome to the new look Bristol Indymedia website. We've redesigned the site so that (hopefully) it looks cleaner and is easier for users to navigate between various types of content, and we've rearranged some of the front page's sections.

Probably the biggest change is the blogfeed on the far right hand column. While we've had an aggregated RSS feed from numerous Bristol based blogs for a while now, it used to appear halfway down the page, and so was not very visible at first glance. Now that it appears alongside the open newswire, we hope this will give more prominence to some of the excellent material that is being published by authors around the Bristol area.

When Indymedia started out in 1999/2000 the concept of using the web as a platform for user generated news content was quite new and groundbreaking, but fast forwards a decade to today and increasingly the web is used by people and groups as a way of directly publishing news to their audience. While we would still encourage people to publish directly to Bristol Indymedia, we recognise that there are a plethora of blossoming independent media platforms online, and that in many cases, the problem is no longer publishing material, but getting that material out to as wide an audience as possible. Consequently we want Indymedia to be a platform which supports and promotes other alternative media outlets, and we hope that the blogfeed will do this.
