The Dispatch List
This is the listserv where budding Indymedia journalists cane pick up story ideas and distribute them. If you are a writer, photographer, videographer, or audio person and you want to publish to Indymedia this is for you.
This list is also for Press
Releases. If you come up with or hear of a great story idea for print, video, or radio, but don't have the time or urgent desire to cover it, you can send it to dispatch so others can pick it up. This list can also be used to just brainstorm ideas or ask for help on a story. If you're a writer and you want photos for your story, a video person who needs an interviewer, or an audio person who just needs a ride to an event you can use this list to find the folks you need.

The Tech List
The Boston IMC Tech group is responsible for what goes down behind the scenes on this website. We also deal with the server; working locally and with techs around the world who manage the global IMC's websites. We're always looking for ways to improve the website and integrate new technologies to build the online community; if you enjoy slinging code until the coffee runs out, get involved. We'd love to have you help out.
