Alternative online news source created by and for the activist crowd.

Excerpted from an article: As the winner was announced for the "News" category, two masked people ran onto the stage. One, who later identified themself as 'Rabble' - the maintainer of the website protest.net - grabbed the "News" award from the host, shouted: "f--- the corporate media!" then ran off the stage taking the award with him. The host fumbled and said, "someone just took off with the award..." The other person, wearing a bandana as mask, took pictures of the event and identified himself as an Indymedia reporter.
