Indymedia Innovations: Tools, Technology and Tips for Protest Coverage
Presenters: Pittsburgh IMC; Dawn Paley & Franklin Lopez, Vancouver Media Co-op
Major summits that draw national and international protest have been covered by Indymedia and independent media outlets for over 10 years. During this time, new media technologies such as Twitter and YouTube have altered news consumption and distribution. With the September 2009 G20 Summit protests in Pittsburgh and the February 2010 Olympics protests in Vancouver, local media projects were challenged to provide independent coverage while remaining relevant in a media-saturated environment. Come learn from two independent media projects about how we addressed these challenges, and provided innovative coverage using crowd sourcing technology and analog technologies to inform and open spaces for discussion. Pittsburgh Indymedia and the Vancouver Media Co-op will lead a discussion that will include organizational structures during convergences and how online and offline tactics can be applied to your media projects - protest coverage or otherwise.

For Dawn Paley and Franklin Lopez:

I am very interested in your upcoming presentation but cannot attend the AMC on Sunday. Is it possible for me to receive your materials on Friday or Saturday?
Thank you! Marcia
