Rochester Indymedia Recap of 2010 Features

On this first day of the New Year, Rochester Indymedia offers this Round-up of stories that we featured throughout the 2010. The following are the six categories that we most focused on. Being a grassroots, all-volunteer media collective, our resources are finite, and we are all too aware of the stories that didn’t make it to our site.

The goal of going back and looking at actions, events, groups, movements and people that stand in 2010 out as having a significant impact in the struggle for a directly democratic society is to assess where we are, and where we need to be. So this list is just the start of a discussion to carry us into the next year.

RIMC Stands in solidarity With Assange and Wikileaks

Rochester Indymedia stands in solidarity with Wikileaks and Julian Assange. Our editorial collective believes in the importance of an independent press and the transparency of government—two principles adhered to by Wikileaks through its public release of hundreds of thousands of confidential state documents. It is one of the primary responsibilities of the press to report the truth; Wikileaks and Assange have done this and continue to do so much to the dismay of governments, public figures and multinational corporations.
