Participatory media before Web 2.0
After reading the assigned article (*please read the Halleck piece INDYMEDIA: BUILDING AN INTERNATIONAL ACTIVIST INTERNET NETWORK available on Canvas) and reviewing the WTO History project, please answer the following three brief questions. You are welcome to do other research to learn more about the protests to help you answer these questions. * The article on the syllabus, ″The WTO Effect″ is now an optional (and highly recommended!) read. 1. What were the 1999 WTO demonstrations, also known as the Battle of Seattle, about? What were protesters fighting for? 2. What was the role of the Independent Media Center in representing the events on the ground? 3. What is one question you have about the role of media during the 1999 demonstrations?
