Hey Mr X.
If you want news, YOU publish a story. That's
what indymedia is all about after all.
Anyway, any update to the Anarchist FAQ is
good news for me at least.
Yes, the FAQ is a fantastic resource; but the problem is, if every time there is an update to the website, and a newswire article is published, those articles would cross from being news to being a regular advertisement.
Furthermore, if every similar site were to have such messages each time new content was added, on a purely practical level, the newswire could collapse under the weight of updates!
Again, I don't mean to take away from how good and how useful this website is - but there's sometimes a clash between not interfering with content and providing for a wide range of stories to come forward without being drowned out.
Advertisements like this are in my opinion OK from time to time, as they're obviously not plugging a product or commercial service. It helps Indymedia, again in my opinion, if those who would publicise their websites could show some restraint in their use of this newswire for that purpose, designed, maintained and promoted by other activists.
At least they publish the URL. There are organizations (SWP/GR)that publish the full version of their weekly bulletins.
The anarchists are so cute! Their ideology is as fanciful as that of the Legion of Mary, but they still want everyone to know all about it.
There must be some sort of missionary impulse in Western culture.
"This is of absolutely no importance what so ever. Please publish some real news and make this newswire interesting."
Given that people have posted articles about many subjects, none of which is news, I find this funny...
Anyways, as regards the question of whether any update to a webpage is news, I think its a question of whether it is a sizeable update or not.
In my defence, I would say that the addition of
two new sections to a large and well respected resource *is* news -- and many people would want to hear it. Minor updates are probably not news. And as the FAQ is generally updated once every few months, I hope people will see why I posted.
No objection to such postings, that is until the revolution when all anarchists will be detained by state security, (an bord stasi) especially phuq head, anarcho and fgod.
Exactly my point, anarcho. I also think that web readers are more likely to pay attention to well-spaced announcements than the type of spamming that other sites engage in.
