Text for web and programme (150 words):

Don't hate the media, be the media: Following the recent G20 protests in London and the advent of social networks and other web 2.0 technologies, Indymedia's raison d'être is possibly now even more relevant than when the grass roots alternative media network began during the 1999 protests against the IMF in Seattle. With participation from Indymedia, Undercurrents, Clearer Channel and VisionOn TV, the Be the Media space is the place to find out about DIY media and get involved in a host of exciting debates and workshops about everything from producing your own media to intellectual property, copyright and the Creative Commons. With cinema showing independent films in the evening, the space will also be the place for solar and wind powered Internet access provided by Bristol Wireless using their suite of refurbished laptops.
