Offline Newsletter for Bristol Hits the Streets

Bristol Indymedia is pleased to announce the launch of Hard Copy, a printed newsletter featuring specially written original pieces of news and views plus selected stories taken from the Bristol Indymedia website.

Hard Copy, like other Indymedia offline projects, is rooted in the ideas and processes of the Indymedia movement – a democratic media project aimed at giving a voice and access to media that is non-commercial and independent. Hard Copy is an easy and accessible way to reading independent views and news about what ordinary Bristolians are doing and saying. Issue #1 of Hard Copy is the pilot copy of what is planned to be a quarterly newsletter. It will (under the creative commons license) re-use news and comment posted from the main website at http://www.Bristol.Indymedia.org, take events from the calendar too and make it available offline in good old-fashioned paper format for free. Hard Copy is printed locally on recycled paper and using non-toxic inks.

We welcome offers for distribution; if know of a cafe, pub, community centre, school or college where they can be offered for free, then please don't hesitate to get in touch and we'll arrange for some.

If you would like your content (either events or stories) to be featured the next Hard Copy, then simply publish your piece online and it will e available for selection at http://www.Bristol.Indymedia.org or you can email the Hard Copy team directly at; imc-bristol-announce at lists.indymedia.org

We also always welcome new volunteers to get involved in this or any of Bristol Indymedia's other projects.
