We work out of love and inspiration for people to who continue to work for a better world, despite corporate media's distortions and unwillingness to cover the efforts to free humanity. The Indymedia movement started with coverage of the WTO protest in Seattle last year. Indymedia represented a breach in the North American media landscape and now it is the moment for Belgium to join this international network. In a country where there has been before no tradition of organised media activism and media monitoring, Indymedia Belgium offers a free daily text and video news enjoyable any time by anyone with an internet connection. In this age of wild colonisation of the net and the first web TV experiments by the big communication monopolists, Indymedia Belgium breaks out as the first Belgian web TV with an organised, motivated and independent editorial staff.
Content can easily be uploaded and updated by anyone.
The editorial staff does not need to be centralised, it can get organised where the events happens and communicates over email and IRC channels. Indymedia uses new technology to give independent media workers the opportunity to tell their story to the world. For this Indymedia uses video,audio, print and the internet. The website unites these different media. On Saturday the third of June, took a first meeting place of Indymedia Belgium in 'Cinema Nova' in Brussels.
