Abstract

This article is part of the Master thesis completed in 2011, entitled Crowd Journalism: the resistance of the indymedia network, in which our aim is to enable an understanding of what we call crowd journalism. To accomplish this goal, the text makes a triple movement: a description of indymedia, a new interpretation of some concepts of Antonio Negri and Michael Hardt and the relationships between these concepts and indymedia, main elements of journalism crowd. We consider these relationships important, because there is a lack of appropriation by the field of communication of the work of Hardt and Negri. This opens a horizon of possibilities in the field for the production of a smaller theory, which has for theme minority flows of resistance. 

Key words: crowd journalism, Antonio Negri, Michael Hardt, indymedia.
