It's the first time for years that Scotland has had a really open newspaper not associated with any political party. The newspaper is an offshoot of Indymedia Scotland, itself apart of an international alternative media network with hundreds of linked web sites.
The Indymedia Scotland web site operates on a system of 'open publishing' i.e. anyone can upload a written report, image or audio clip directly to the site through an openly accessible web interface, given the guidelines detailed. Indymedia Scotland encourages: Grassroots coverage of important social and political issues, especially those ignored by mainstream media. A focus on events and issues relevant to people living in Scotland. Announcements of any forthcoming actions or campaigns (in the Calendar section). Comments added to any news report on the site.
