>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
>
>INDYMEDIA NETWORK LAUNCHES NEW WEBSITE AND SPECIAL ELECTIONS COVERAGE
>
>On the eve of what will be one of the most important elections in U.S.
>history, the Indymedia network announces the launch of a new and critical
>website for gathering the news and views of ordinary people across the
>country and around the world.
>
>With its mission of publishing independent, on-the-ground reports from the
>people who experience the news most directly, www.indymedia.us will amplify
>the voices of those most impacted not only by the elections process, but
>also by the policies of either a Bush or Kerry administration.
>
>³Indymedia has changed the face of journalism through its creative and
>comprehensive coverage from the front lines of struggles for social justice
>through out the world,² says Amy Goodman, host of Democracy Now!, the
>independent public radio and TV news hour. ³With its vast network of
>unembedded journalists throughout the country indymedia.us will become a
>weapon in the fight for the truth about what happens on November 2nd and
>beyond.²
>
>The US IMC website centers around a syndicated wire of all featured 
>articles
>published by participating local US-based IMCs. As with all Indymedia 
>sites,
>the USIMC¹s open publishing newswire empowers people to become the media by
>posting their articles, photos, videos, and audio clips directly to the
>website¹s wire. But the US IMC¹s main function is to make the news that is
>published, culled and edited to local IMC sites relevant and accessible to 
>a
>broader audience.
>
>³Indymedia is the only source that truly comes from the ground-up,² says
>journalist and activist Rosa Clemente. ³Young people all across the globe
>are learning how to be the story-tellers of their community. In a whole 
>host
>of ways, Indymedia has access to reports that the corporate media and even
>most alternative media outlets do not.²
>
>There are currently 165 autonomous Independent Media Centers (IMC) around
>the world. Over 50 of them are in the United States.
>
>Indymedia is a grassroots network committed to using media production and
>distribution as tools for promoting social and economic justice. It is
>dedicated to addressing issues that the mainstream media neglects and hopes
>to empower people to "become the media" by providing democratic access to
>available technologies and information.
