Summary of interview: Jeff Perlstein, Director of the Independent Media Center in Seattle, discusses the importance of the community creating and controling its own message, rather than having that message represented by large media conglomerates. In this article, he describes the formulation of IMC, the role it played prior to the Seattle anti-WTO protests, and his experiences during the protests. The current role of the IMC is extremely important in Seattle and throughout the world, as is their ability to act collectively in the best interest of the people everywhere. |
