Need Help for Media-Activist Manual
Call this : a Call for Action !

We invite Practising Media-Activists, whatever your media or 
experience, to Contribute. To a Media-Activist Manual (MAM).
SEND US EXPERIENCE, CRITIQUE, SUGGESTION

/Why Now ?/
Because lots of Otra Mundistas are moving these days in the LowLands !

D14 will be the culminating point of half a year of protests against 
European capitalist globalisation. D14 takes place in Brussels during 
the "summit" at the end of Belgium's Presidency of the European Union.

We, as media-activists, take advantage of this Moment to gather as 
much of Media-Activist Experience as we can during the protests of 
Sept.22 (Liege), 0ct.19 (Gent) and Dec.14 (Brussels) and make them 
available for all those who'll be working as media-activists in the 
future.

/MAM : What ?/
This Media-Activist Manual will consist of a true Manual, Printed on 
Paper, together with a MAM-Website.

/MAM : Three Parts /
The MAM'll contain three chapters
#1 The Media-Activism Experience
txtwriting/html/video/interview/audio/sound system/entartâge 
(see:Bill Gates)/flyer and so on
you name it/and then turn it into a new Activist Media !
#2 Function-ing of Corporate Media
analysis and critique, based on writings of Serge Halimi, Ignacio 
Ramonet, Ben Bagdikian, Michael Parenti, Noam Chomsky, Robert 
McChesney and YOU, if you decide to send us your opinion
#3 Media-Activism
Frequently Made Observations ("Media-making is incompatible with 
Activism"/"You should be balancing sources" / "You people ask the 
right questions, but give the wrong answers" / "Amateurs ! 
Professional journalism is ten times better" and so on..)
should get Smart Answers

/Editors /
Allthough the MAM is not an IndyMedia-initiative, the 
Collectors-Editors (han Soete, Timothee "LadyRedKitten" Genot, Raf 
Custers) want to build this manual on the collective IndyMedia-energy.
We have all been collaborating with IndyMedia-Belgium since its start 
in June 2000. We also throw in our professional backgrounds as web- & 
graphic designer & journalist.
The Antwerp based publishing house EPO ( one of the very few 
remaining leftist publishers in the World) wants to print the book in 
Dutch and probably French. Contacts with editors in Italy and 
elsewhere have been established. Anyone who wants to translate the 
texts in English, Deutsch... FEEL FREE !

/Deadline /
December 2001
