[Imc-pl] preambula polityki redakcyjnej

[XaViER]

Witajcie,

chcialbym zaproponowac do rozpatrzenia swego rodzaju preambule do
polityki redakcyjnej, ktora doprecyzuje to czym indy sa, a czym nie sa.
Indymedia UK maja cos takiego. chcialbym, aby znajacy angielski sie
wypowiedzieli najpierw co o tym mysla. jesli spotka sie to z
zainteresowaniem mozna przetlumaczyc i zaproponowac oficjalnie jako
nasza preambule. wydaje mi sie, ze w kontekscie
ostatnich sporow czym sa, a czym nie sa indymedia warto by cos takiego
dodac do naszej polityki. z takim oswiadczeniem moglibysmy nawet
zostawic publicystyke chyba:

IMC UK Mission Statement

The Indymedia UK website provides an interactive platform for reports
from the struggles for a world based on freedom, cooperation, justice
and solidarity, and against environmental degradation, neoliberal
exploitation, racism and patriarchy. The reports cover a wide range of
issues and social movements - from neighbourhood campaigns to
grassroots mobilisations, from critical analysis to direct action.

The content of the Indymedia UK website is created through a system of
open publishing: anyone can upload a written, audio and video report
or a picture directly to the site through an openly accessible web
interface. Through this system of 'Direct Media', Indymedia erodes the
dividing line between reporters and reported, between active producers
and passive audience: people are enabled to speak for themselves. At
bigger actions, Indymedia UK volunteers extend this participatory
model by establishing 'Public Access Terminals' on the streets, and
facilitating direct access to the technical equipment that enables
participants to upload to the website.

Indymedia UK stands for Indymedia United Kollektives. An increasing
number of imc collectives in the UK have their own pages on the IMC UK
website or elsewhere. IMC UK is part of the worldwide network of
Independent Media Centres (IMCs), focuses on Britain, and is also an
intermediary for information from other parts of the world. Imc groups
in the UK collaborate on sharing contents and resources amongst
themselves and with the global IMC network. The main element of
Indymedia UK is the website; this platform generates a variety of
other activities including video-production, film-screenings, printed
materials and public interventions.

The DIY media workers of the Indymedia United Kollektives operate
within a network of radical UK media groups, individual contributors
and IMC supporters. Volunteers of Indymedia United Kollektives act as
moderators on the IMC UK website. We aim to live up to the following
principles:

* Indymedia United Kollektives works on a non-hierarchical basis
* we reject all systems of domination and discrimination
* we acknowledge that the struggle for a better world takes many
forms. The focus of the Indymedia UK collective is on grassroots
politics, actions and campaigns
* Indymedia United Kollektives does not have any ties with political
parties or larger NGOs
* we understand that by lobbying there will be no radical change. As a
collective our attitude is assertive, and where necessary
confrontational

Inherent in the mainstream corporate media is a strong bias towards
Capitalism's power structures, and it is an important tool in
propagating these structures around the globe. While the mainstream
media conceal their manifold biases and alignments, we clearly state
our position. Indymedia UK does not attempt to take an objective and
impartial standpoint: Indymedia UK clearly states its subjectivity.
