The collective behind London
Indymedia (http://london.indymedia.org)
are closing shop. In the past twelve years, the
collective have racked up over 100 years of involvement in radical political
organising and media production and have provided invaluable resources, contributing to
the proliferation of information, communication, opinion and discussion
within the UK radical political movements in which they are situated. They recently
published their decision (https://london.indymedia.org/articles/13128)
to archive the site and close down the project, stating a desire to move
on to other political work. This show features a conversation with several former
members of the London Indymedia collective on reasons for wrapping up and moving on,
with much time spent reflecting on the current state of independent media
production in an information age with a vast majority of internet track going
towards a handful of corporately owned and controlled social networking tools and
publishing platforms. (You can listen to the full version of the interview on
