Abstract

From its humble beginnings as an open message board system, through its evolution as a network of multimedia rich news portals, its clashes with police, the FBI, and its contribution of software, newsroom models, revolutionary newsroom practice and independent media, Indymedia has been at the forefront of the new media revolution. One particularly important development is the emergence of a hybrid model of journalism. However Indymedia has fallen into disrepair and disrepute – this paper looks at possibilities for repair, revision and relaunch.
