INDYMEDIA MEETING HELD IN SACRAMENTO
By Mike Rhodes
January 24, 2004
Over 50 people attended a meeting in Sacramento today to organize a Central Valley Indymedia center. While most of the people were from Sacramento - Modesto, Fresno, and Tulare were also represented. Currently, Central Valley community journalists are posting their articles on a page at http://sfbay.indymedia.org/centralvalley/ . Much of the discussion at this meeting was about whether the Central Valley wanted to have its own Indymedia site which would be independent of the San Francisco site.
The consensus was that we will continue using the Indybay site but will work towards setting up an Independent Central Valley Indymedia website. The advantage of having an independent Central Valley web site will be realized as the volume of content increases and we need to have a separate page for Fresno, Modesto, Sacramento, etc.
The group at the Sacramento meeting decided that they will have members on the Indybay Indymedia editorial board so they can increase their participation with this project. Another Sacramento meeting will be planned and the details will be posted here (on this website) within 1 week.
The bottom line from this meeting is that there is great interest in media democracy in Sacramento and we are moving in the direction of having a fully functioning Indymedia center.
