You know you're doing something right when you start winning awards and you're less than 18 months old. The Independent Media Centers win, in a collective effort, special recognition for "their powerful and ambitious coverage of anti-corporate protest events worldwide." |
From Alternet:
Instead of an individual hero, the collective effort of the Independent
Media Centers (indymedia.org) deserve special honor for their powerful
and ambitious coverage of anti-corporate protest events worldwide. The
IMCs are especially noteworthy because they rely very little on leadership
and much more on the tireless volunteers who staff them. As one architect
of the IMCs noted, "The success and power of the IMC project is
because it has been a grassroots, non-heirarchical, and extremely collaborative
project... [So] although I am honored to be nominated, I would like to withdraw my
name and request that the IMCs be substituted as the nominee."
Here is the page for all the awards. It includes links to a number of good sites that also won awards this year that would be useful to have for news.
Now everyone, give yourself a pat on the back. |
