"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.

Examples...
Global Indymedia: (many others derived from this)

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.
