Indymedia Ireland's First Year

Monday February 03, 2003 04:06 by IMC Editorial Group - IMC Ireland
Indymedia Ireland is now one year old after twelve eventful months in which coverage of Garda violence at a RTS demo brought national attention and a Gardaí internal inquiry, the Ansbacher Report was published online, and article 133 became an important part of the debate on the Nice referendum. Among over 26,000 postings to the newswire were stories on the use of Shannon airport as a US military refueling depot, the threat to Carrickmines Castle and a variety of protests and direct actions. Many stories broken by Indymedia.ie have turned up in commercial publications. Some of the first Indymedia stories sound familiar a year later. Stories on anti-war demonstrations at Shannon Airport and the arrest of anti-car protestors both appeared on the newswire in the first few days of Indymedia.ie. Despite a successful first year providing an alternative, non-commercial source of news and information Indymedia.ie hasn't been without its critics ( 2 ) ( 3 ), which shows it must be doing something right. Open Letter in response to criticisms of Indymedia by the Sunday Independent's Brendan O'Connor. |
