NO NEW ROUND RADIO
A global coordinated distributed effort to cover no-wto actions and countersummits, where any free independent media can join in taking up part of the 24 hour programming.
This is the only independent broadcast platform covering the WTO conference, which is quite possibly a defining meeting between the west, the third world and Islam. The anti-globalisation movement has never had a voice in the area, so this is an important relationship building operation with all of the players. We hope the IMC network makes the most of this and we make true progress in being a true global independent news media network. Indymedia really does go where no other news
agency will go and thus brings a voice to the unheard, the dispossessed and from all corners of the planet.
With the help of Indymedia, Greenpeace intends to put on the web at least 1 hour of English programming a day during the WTO meeting, also Arabic programming is being planned. The origin of those broadcasts will be the Greenpeace ship Rainbow Warrior, as it is docked in Doha, Qatar during the 4th Ministerial meeting of the World Trade Organization (WTO).
We invite any indymedia center to help cover on the global site as well as on their local sites the events happening in their locations from no 9th to nov 13th.
Phone lines will be soon set up to receive incoming calls from all over the world to report on the various actions: there will be the possibility to upload audio features on mirrored ftp sites so that anybody participating can share the content produced and
radios can transmit it in any form.
We hope that the coordination will grow to include another communication means and as much people as possible: itīs a big experiment and it could spawn the idea of keeping this distributed audio project.

The year 1998 marks 50 years of the global trading system under GATT and World Trade Organisation (WTO). Celebrations take place at the second bi-annual Ministerial
Conference from 18th to 20th May 1998 in Geneva. At the same time, renegotiations are being prepared due to start in the year 1999 or 2000. The EU Ministers already expressed their support for a so-called īMillennium Roundī which might introduce new areas into the WTO, such as an agreement to liberalise investment.
