[imc-scotland-discussion] for anyone interested in INC - the paper version of Inydmedia Scotland

Sun Nov 13 12:12:26 PST 2005

Looks good to me Leigh. I'll set-up a list for this this week.

Very Brief Minutes from Meeting at Chalkboard last week

It was agreed to go ahead and produce a quarterly newspaper of 4 sheets (8 pages) luanching in January 06

The aims of the paper to strengthen and broaden the Indymedia network and draw in people not already involved in 'activist' politics, and those without ready access to the internet.

I've lost my notes - bit I think they're in a bag somewhere - just got back from up north. Can someone else fill-in the blanks till I dig them out?

below is Leighs stab at guidelines for accepting banners of support from other groups.

Next meeting: Friday 2nd December. Chalkboard

I don't have everyone's emails and wasn't sure about sending an attachment to the List, so I'm sending this to emails I have, if Mike S. could please forward it to the collected emails, and if the List accepts attachments please post it there for the record, if not cut the attachment to post it to the List.

** So here's a draft/suggested statement on affinity banners, 
sponsorship, advertising income for discussion:::

Inc editorial collective’s stance on affinity banners, sponsorship, 
advertising, donations' income:

As a means to print and freely distribute the paper, Inc encourages 
affinity banners, advertisements, sponsorship, voluntary donations from 
grassroots actions and campaigns, co-operatives, educational, 
non-corporate, non-commercial, charitable and ethical 
organisations/bodies/groups/individuals that reflect and further the 
interests of the following Indymedia Scotland Mission Statement:

“The Independent Media Center is a global network of collectively run 
media outlets for the creation of radical, accurate, and passionate 
tellings of truth. We are motivated by a love and inspiration for 
people who work for a better world despite corporate media's 
distortions and unwillingness to cover efforts to develop an 
egalitarian and sustainable society.
The Scotland Independent Media Centre is a grassroots organisation 
committed to using media production and distribution as tools for 
promoting social and ecology justice. We are dedicated to addressing 
issues that the mainstream media neglects and we do not conceal our 
politics behind a false objectivity. We will empower people to "become 
the media" by providing democratic access to available technologies and 
information.”

The paper remains absolutely free at the point of distribution.

Affinity banners, sponsorship, advertising, donations or any such forms 
of income from those with ties with political parties / affinity 
groups, or larger NGOs is not accepted.

There is a total separation of affinity banners, sponsorship, 
advertising, donations from influence on the editorial stance.

Inc reserves the right to exercise editorial discretion on any affinity 
banners, sponsorship, advertising, donation.

Why? Because we believe in a culture that values diversity and is 
rooted in the communities we share.

All the best
Leigh
