====================
Hello OURMedia/NUESTROSMedios friends,
Right before our ourmedia conference in Bangalore, there is this alternative
media event during the lead-up to the WTO meeting. This group is eager to
connect with existing movements and networks. Many of the organizations who
met for the Taiwan Ourmedia Meeting will be there. Indymedia people
especially welcome. Looking at the speaker list, I would think they could
use more female speakers! Come forth!
Best,
Gabi

Hong Kong In-media (http://www.inmediahk.net) would like to seize the
opportunity of WTO ministerial meeting in Hong Kong in December 2005 for
organizing a conference on "new media and social transformation". we want to
have an international, grassroot and critical gathering paralell to the
elitist and corporate-led WTO MC6
(http://www.wto.org/english/thewto_e/minist_e/min05_e/min05_e.htm on 3 to
18 December 2005)
We hope that by this gathering we can:
1. Promote the ideas of independent media, blogger journalism and citizen
journalism in Hong Kong so that people can start joining the existing
independent media platform or building their own media.
2. promote the idea of global citizen and border-crossing perspective.
3. Further substantiate the development of independent media in Hong Kong
for the development of democratic and open society.
4. Plan for future collaboration among independent media within Hong Kong,
the Asia Region and among international community.

- Participatory journalism and independent media movement
- Global citizen and new media?
- The Development of Internet media in Chinese Speaking World
