Wouldn't it make sense if Indymedia put up a main headline story with the details of bus departure times and venues around the country for this weekend's demos at Dublin and Shannon. Anyone listening.....?

Good idea - why don't you do it?

Indymedia is and I repeatr Indymedia is here to be used - we (collective) don't get paid and u obviously can use the publish button just as well as I can. So get on with it and snap out of your passivity. All it takes is working out the stuff and putting it up.

Is this chap in the first posting not referring to the
feature articles on the main page. These can only be
published by Indymedia editors, can they not ???

We compile features from newswire articles
author by as do many other ghostspublication date Mon Dec 02, 2002 17:33author address author phone

and they always contain links to original articles on newswire - all IMC readers can publish on Newswire and join and jump over to the (open and Archived) Editorial mailing list and suggest or submit features. Features submitted are seldom (if ever?) not used.

So the audience in theory (less so in practice because of rampant passivity) are the editors if they are willing to invest a little time.

Make the headlines...

I also think bustimes should be
posted as a headline article...
Get to it, powers that be......

Writing a feature
author by C.publication date Tue Dec 03, 2002 10:22author address author phone

To get something on the centre column:

send an email to imc-ireland-editorial@lists.indymedia.org.

This should contain

Headline.

Text - generally about 2 paragraphs.

any links (either to newswire articles - we like that - or other web material). A picture if you have one. If you can send a simple html version with embedded links we will use this.

Unless an objection is raised on this (open) list the feature will then appear.

Have to go now, I am starting a campaign to get someone to make me a cup of coffee.
