[Imc-g8-2005] workshop idea:IMC/mainstream media activist cooperation

[Jason Kirkpatrick]

Hi!
I have a suggestion to add a workshop about building the relationship of
\imc's and dissenty type mainstream media activists. /\i think it would be
good to work on building communication and trust after successful
cooperative work at warsaw demos from 29 April and Dublin May Day 2004.
in solidarity,

Subject: [media_strategy_against_g8] gathering in london 14/15 may

Looks like this event is open to all alt media - not just 
indymedia!

here's the info:

INDEPENDENT/ALTERNATIVE MEDIA CONVERGENCE IN LONDON - M14-15 

WHERE : London WHEN : May 14 - 15 HOST : Indymedia UK 
(http://www.indymedia.org.uk) 

In order to prepare independent coverage of the G8 Summit in 
Gleneagles, Scotland, and the various activities being planned 
around the summit (See CONTEXT section below), Indymedia UK will be 
hosting an independent/alternative media convergence on 14-15 May, 
2005, in London. 

The convergence will be a great opportunity for independent 
journalists, media activists, techs, and artists from all over 
Europe to meet each other, find out what this summit is all about, 
and plan non-corporate media coverage. 

This will also be the a good time to form working groups (by media 
and by languages) and to discuss organization issues beforehand. 

There's a program proposal for the convergence at the end of this 
post. Please direct any proposals or comments you may have about 
that to the email list address: imc-g8-2005 at lists.indymedia.org

summit, please fill out the registration form below and e-mail it 
to us (email: contact at indymedia.org.uk with the word

publicly archived and your details will not be put on public view. 

All corporate media reporters, except ones that we invite due to

convergence.

CONTEXT The leaders of the Group of 8 (G8) industrialized nations 
(Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom, 
and the United States), hold a summit meeting every year to make 
decisions about major political and economic issues. Over the past 
ten years, the G8 summits have been increasingly challenged by 
global social movements and have had to retreat to relatively 
remote locations in order to meet. This year, the G8 summit will be 
held at the Gleneagles golf course in Scotland, about one hour 
north of Edinburgh. 

Major protest actions are planned to coincide with the Summit. A 
network of independent media producers will provide non-corporate 
coverage of the demonstrations from 1-9 July 2005.
