A Guide to Using The Perth Indymedia Website Perth Indymedia: Open Publishing  Indymedia is a network of individuals, independent and alternative media activists and organisations, offering grassroots, non-corporate, non-commercial coverage of important social and political issues - Everyones a journalist! Perth Indymedia, an entirely volunteer, not-for-profit community organisation - is all about grass-roots media participation. In other words YOU are welcome to be part of this Global Indymedia.org publishing evolution. Open Publishing allows YOU to contribute your media to the world. You are in a global network... Activist Media for Media Activism! What is Open Publishing? At the heart of Indymedia is the principle of Open Publishing, which allows anyone to self-publish their work on the IMC web sites. Perth Indymedia encourages people to become the media by posting their News stories, articles, analysis, events, multimedia - video, audio and other seditious artworks directly onto this web site, and into the Newswires by using the Publishing page. Perth Indymedia relies on you - the independent media consumer/contributor to present your information in an open, honest, accurate manner - but we have no control over what people submit. After an article has been published, it is not altered by editors. It may only be removed or transferred from the open Newswire - based upon the guidelines of the consensus-driven Perth Indymedia Editorial Policy. Read the Perth IMC editorial guidelines: are right here...  Newswire Comments: Indymedia also encourages community dialogue through the Post a comment box at the bottom of each article. This function enables you to add more information about an article, perhaps refute stated information and/or discuss the post. Your comments are immediately, automatically added to the orignal post - at times making for lively discussion! Please do not abuse the comments section. Trolls or Flamers are NOT welcome! Whilst our Open Publishing editorial policy is very broad, there are some limits as to what we can and cannot accept. To find out more about the Editorial Policy, go here... Need Help?
