"It was the year 2005. Treacherous political and economic forces have conquered the city of Chicago. Now from secret staging bases on the internet and locales across the city, the valiant Chicagoans prepare to retake their home city."

(Sorry, I just had to write that. For those of you who get the reference, congratulations. Ten points. For the rest of you, read the quotes here:

www.imdb.com/title/tt0092106 )

2005 was a year in which the dramatic expansion of communications and social software applications like blogs, webfeeds, mailing lists, wikis, and many more, combined with the internet, made it far easier for people to Be The Media. This resulted in a proliferation of communications potential, and all the possibilities, good and bad, that come with it.

And yet, in the midst of such proliferation, Chicago Indymedia -- which some might think as a diluted or obsolete resource -- continues to serve as a prominent news and information portal for thousands of Chicagoans and many others interested in Chicago efforts towards peace and justice.

As evidence, consider the following: the list below of coverage of Chicago-area news events as posted on Chicago Indymedia in 2005, comprising the Chicago Indymedia 2005 Year in Review.

The coverage below, more than 360 links' worth, is grouped in a dozen categories -- a testament to the hard and ongoing work and struggles of so many people. The categories are listed as follows:

The Arts
Civil Rights, Civil Liberties, and Human Rights
Education Organizing
Environment Organizing
International Affairs
LGBT Rights
Labor Organizing
Media Democracy
Peace Organizing
