Welcome to AIMCThis is a collection of some of the basic documents which describe Asheville Indymedia and how we work. About Asheville IndymediaThe Asheville Independent Media Center (AIMC) is a not-for-profit open-publishing news website that hopes to support and foster grassroots social and environmental activism. By providing the digital infrastructure for ordinary people to publish articles, ideas, announcements and events, the AIMC collective hopes to empower and support local communities and campaigns that are otherwise not represented in mainstream media. Asheville Indymedia Mission StatementBe the media. Asheville Indymedia's Editorial PolicyThe Asheville IMC newswire works on the principle of open publishing: anyone is allowed to post to the site. Articles go straight to the newswire and are not passed through an editorial board or approval process. Once articles and media are on the site, however, they may be hidden (according to the guidelines below) to maintain the newswire's efficacy as a media resource. The content of posts is never edited though sometimes formatting is corrected (html errors, for example). AIMC is committed to remaining as transparent as possible regarding its decision making. In this spirit, we are working to create a page to collect hidden posts so that visitors to the site can view articles that the editorial group has decided to hide. Legal DisclaimerContent (text, image, audio, or video) posted to this web site is owned by its author. Unless otherwise stated by the author, all content is free for non-commercial reuse, reprint, and rebroadcast, on the net and elsewhere. Opinions are those of the people contributing to the site and are not necessarily endorsed by Asheville Indymedia. Getting Involved with Asheville IndymediaThe Asheville Indymedia website is run in an open and free atmosphere. We welcome participation and contributions from everyone who feels they have something constructive to add. You don't have to be a member to post to the newswire or to contribute articles. We collaborate on the mailing lists and have face to face meetings every month or as the need arises. latest commentsCompost BinThis page is where you can see all of the hidden articles and comments that people have posted. |
