Austin Indymedia is a grassroots media collective committed to providing an outlet for the circulation of voices and messages that are systematically marginalized by mainstream media. Austin Indymedia refuses to hide behind a false sense of objectivity and promotes media-making as a tool for social, economic, and environmental justice. We seek to provide alternatives to for-profit media not only in our coverage, but also within our collective by implementing consensus decision making, non-hierarchical and non-specialized work methods. Austin Indymedia allows for open publishing, encourages community collaboration, and helps open access to the tools necessary to engage in grassroots media-making. These processes ensure that the means are consistent with the end - a world based in community, cooperation and sustainability.
