Abstrakt
Project Indymedia is an institutionalized example of global activism mediated by the new
information technologies. The significant innovation here is the fulfilment of the radical
democracy ideal, that has not been fully realized yet, despite of numerous attempts. It
can be seen that the Indymedia implements radical democratic vision of the media and
promotes participants with widely known slogan „be the media”. Indymedia initiative
promotes the idea that everybody should have access to the possibility of free creation of
information and its unlimited transfer to the wide audience. Notably, radical democratic
practices undertaken by the Indymedia go beyond the content of its internet page and
include a number of important institutional activities that involve new communication
technologies in global network dimension. The so-called radical democratic practices
also involve an active attempts to renegotiate the basic relations of power, leveling hierarchical
systems (an example of this is the decision-making procedure supported by
consensus), and the prevention of visible limitations of the access to content (example is
promotion of an open access software). The paper presents framework of the project, its
basic ideas, with particular emphasis on implementation of radical democracy elements.
The main purpose is to answer the questions concerning extreme inclusiveness of the
project and evaluation of its radical democratic character.
