Responsibilities:

"Principles of Unity" are an essential element of forming an Indymedia group, whether stated explicitly or indirectly.

STLIMC needs its own Principles of Unity, which will go on this page.

Introduction

This is a 8-10-07 draft, copied from OKIMC.org. This needs to be review, revised, etc etc etc.

The STLIMC web server retains logs of all activity on the website. Normally, these logs are used purely for the purpose of compiling statistics about site usage and are deleted after 7 days. In special cases, where persistent patterns of abuse are noticed, we may decide to use the logs to identify the source of the abuse. The information in these logs is not shared with any other body and is not used for any other purposes.

Features Section Guidelines

The features section of the IMC includes the items that appear in the center column of the web site. They are in-depth news articles that address a current issue which broadly and directly affects the local or regional community. Features should go beyond the scope of the event to include all relevant information surrounding the issue, including opposing viewpoints, and should link to tangent issues or background information (preferably within Indymedia and non-commercial sites). Under-covered news, breaking news, protests, ongoing coverage, or in-depth looks at local or regional issues are some examples of features-quality article topics. All features articles should strive to present an in-depth analysis, either from a balanced third-party perspective, or from a detailed first-person perspective.
