Manchester Indymedia pauses
This current version of the Manchester Indymedia is now closed. This page will continue an archive. Currently there are not enough people able to commit time and energy to the site administration and editing. We also feel that closing these pages will encourage other people to get involved to replace them using new web technology which can incorporate video, photo blogging and social media.
Right now we invite you to publish your Manchester news, pictures, images and audio on the Northern Indymedia website and be sure to tag it Manchester. Click here to publish Manchester News. Your news will appear here http://northern-indymedia.org/about/manchester.
Also please publish your events to the Mule Events Diary. Indymedia is one of the outcome of a politics based on mutual support, self-organisation and direct action. If you are involved in direct action in the Manchester area, and want to change set up another Indymedia then you can contact the following email lists for help. Manchester Indymedia & Northern Indymedia & a new geographically disparate collective. Alternatively, if you would like help setting an alternative open publishing site, then there are other technologies and enthusiastic people who can help you set it up. Try contacting the Hacktionlab network as a good start.
We also encourage radical media collectives from out of town to come to Manchester to share information. We can help promote any meetings or events you arrange.
