[Imc-communication] center of the global indymedia network in urbana????

[Dave Berliner]

I posted this statement to the radio.indymedia.org site.

>> The Independent Media Center of Urbana Champaign held a press 
>> conference
>> in the Historic downtown urbana Post office today May, 9 2005. The 
>> press
>> conference was held to announce the UCIMC purchase of the Downtown
>> Urbana Post Office. The Post office is projected to become the center

If nothing else, we can be happy that it generated a response from the 
grassroots
activists that the global independent media movement intends to serve.  
The UCIMC bought a 200,000 historic building in Urbana.  Hopefully it 
can develop the media and arts space in a way that will serve the 
global indy media movement without becoming a gatekeeper to a diverse 
marketplace of ideas.
