each IMCs webpage to “about” pages to find specific dates <strong>of</strong> admittance. (3) view an<br />
IMCs listserv for hints on when <strong>the</strong>y were admitted. (4) last resort: contact IMC's contact<br />
email and listserv asking if anyone knows when it was first admitted.<br />
To see rise-n-fall, compare my master list <strong>of</strong> IMCs with dates w/ <strong>the</strong> <strong>of</strong>ficial “active”<br />
IMC list. For those who are no longer active, try to determine when <strong>the</strong>y were removed.<br />
Possibly contacting people like Jay, Sheri, Boud, Bart, etc. for info on <strong>the</strong>se deletions (or<br />
even additions) may be helpful.<br />
Do regression analysis on IMC locations (at least N. American) to see what factors<br />
influence where <strong>the</strong>y are. Hypo<strong>the</strong>sis: IMCs are ei<strong>the</strong>r positively correlated with or are<br />
dependent upon <strong>the</strong> concentration <strong>of</strong> anarchist/anarchistic organizations in <strong>the</strong> same city<br />
or state. Dependent variable: IMC city/state; Independent variables: cities/states<br />
containing a “franchise” anarchist organization (i.e. ABC, ARA, CM, EF!, FNB, IWW)<br />
or maybe even any anarchist organization (use Anarchist Yellow Pages for this, although<br />
it tends to be ra<strong>the</strong>r patchy and incomplete). ??<br />
IMC geographical delineations - region, city, state/province, country, [etc.]: how many <strong>of</strong><br />
each, which differs, service to each region, etc.<br />
Chronological rise <strong>of</strong> each new IMC - use Wiki database and new-imc list [and imcprocess]<br />
or cities.inc file [?] to determine [+ inactivity/death <strong>of</strong> IMC]<br />
Line chart <strong>of</strong> IMC growth (horizontal axis = time, vertical axis = # <strong>of</strong> global IMCs)<br />
Pie charts (each for a time period - year?) <strong>of</strong> percentage <strong>of</strong> continent for total IMCs [e.g.<br />
2000 = 100% NA IMCs; 2001 = 80% NA, 20% = European; etc.]<br />
Read IMC page on FBI activity/crack-downs/legal-attacks. Combine into text. Affecting<br />
large convergences or o<strong>the</strong>r things too?<br />
Do left wing bibliography search for IMC movement. Integrate major findings, analysis,<br />
and <strong>the</strong>ory into text. [IMC's "Indymedia in <strong>the</strong> news" page (?), Z-Net, alternet.org,<br />
commoncause.org, infoshop.org, a-infos (en), etc. Do Nexis-Lexis database search on<br />
"Independent Media Center" and "IMC" over last 5 years.<br />
Integrate Shumway, Chuck0, Beckerman, Naomi Klein (?), et al. into text.<br />
Almeida, et al. 2003<br />
Kidd 2003<br />
Van Aelst, et al. 2002<br />
