From Indymedia to Wikileaks: What a decade of hacking journalistic culture says about the future of news
(C.W. Anderson) - 09.12.2010 18:35
The first time I ever heard the words �mirror website,� I was sitting at a debris-strewn desk, hunched over a desktop computer, on the second floor of a nondescript office building on East 29th in Manhattan. I�d recently started volunteering with the New York City Independent Media Center, an organization that would turn out to be one of the first �citizen journalism� organizations in the United States � though certainly no one would have called it that at the time. The IMC was in its third day of participant-powered coverage of protest actions taken against World Economic Forum (WEF) meetings in New York. It was less than five months after September 11; the city was cold and bleak, and people were tense. Really tense. And our website, NYC Indymedia, had slowed to a crawl.
