About Indymedia

The Independent Media Centre Network is a network of collectively run media outlets for the creation of radical, accurate, and passionate tellings of the truth. We work out of a love and inspiration for people who continue to work for a better world, despite corporate media's distortions and unwillingness to cover the efforts to free humanity.

Indymedia Ireland's Editorial Guidelines

Indymedia Ireland is built on the foundation of an open and democratic newswire. We want to see and hear real stories, news, and opinions from users of the site around the country. Anybody can post a story, or a comment on a story to Indymedia. While we struggle to maintain the newswire as a completely open forum we do monitor it and remove posts.

Indymedia Privacy Policy

The Indymedia Ireland does not normally retain server logs of activity on the website. In special cases, where persistent patterns of abuse are noticed, we may decide to use the logs to identify the source of the abuse. The information in these logs is not shared with any other body and is not used for any other purposes other than ensuring the secure functioning of the site.

Legal Disclaimer

Content (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 Indymedia Ireland.

Help Indymedia

The Indymedia Ireland 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. The website is managed by a volunteer collective who collaborate on mailing lists and have face to face meetings as the need arises. Membership of the collective is open to all.

Donate to Indymedia

Indymedia is a not-for-profit news site that accepts no advertising or commercial support whatsoever. We rely entirely on volunteer labour to keep the site going and donations from users to pay our hosting charges - which keep increasing as our traffic increases - in June of 2010, this was over 13GB a day and about 13 million hits a month. If we want to keep on growing we need the community to help out and for users to donate a few euros towards the bills. We also try to help out with similar projects in other parts of the network, especially in the global south.

What is the Indymedia Newswire?

The Indymedia Ireland newswire works on the principle of Open Publishing, an essential element of the Indymedia project that allows anyone to instantaneously self-publish their work on a globally accessible web site. The Indymedia newswire encourages people to become the media by posting their articles, analysis, and photographs directly to the web site. You can publish to the newswire by clicking the "publish" link and following the easy instructions.
