A Counter-Information Mini Directory

Indymedia websites (IMCs) have been around throughout the 21st century. Most of them aspired to create a local media service to counter main stream media (MSM) narratives as well as share reports, communiques and similar stories that MSM typically suppress or ignore. Unfortunately many such IMCs are inactive, but ones that still are remain networked and are listed in the bottom of the homepage of active IMCs.

Despite the decline of many IMCs other sites have steadily appeared to fulfill some of the original purpose of regional countermedia. Below is a list of some of these counterinfo sites, along with the geographic areas they focus on. Most of these are run by small groups of anarchists. This is a much narrower category than "alternative media" which often reports liberal stories and are typically run as businesses or pro-system NGOs.
