The idea behind Indymedia is to produce accurate news not governed by corporate control. Indymedia allows people to publish their news as they wish. People can freely post stories on what they think is important for people to know. The site is set up for international use and has the option to focus on specific locations. Slashdot is a website that defines itself as "News for Nerds". The news on Slashdot focuses on technological advancements. Unlike Indymedia Slashdot does not allow just anything to be posted on their site. You must submit a story to the Slashdot editors to look over and decide if it is news worthy. To get your story on Slashdot it helps to provide some proof such as relevant links. Slashdot is a great website and their editorial process keeps the news on the site quite reliable.
