We’re an open medium for communication and information, run by a community of volunteers. We’re based in Athens, even though many of us live in other cities around the world. We operate on the basis of relationships of trust and mutual respect. We don’t follow the hierarchical structure of conventional, mainstream media.
We inform the world of events in crisis-hit Greece through a permanent newsfeed.
We conduct in-depth research on topics that the mainstream media tend to ignore.
We participate in cultural life, promote communication and spread information.
We develop, promote and support solidarity initiatives for people in need.

Live Radio. In
2007, we called upon citizens to take the media into their own hands.
To date, 7,500 radio shows have been uploaded onto our website. They
include shows about politics, music, culture, Creative Commons and open
source software; original radio plays; radio documentaries; and
interviews with both newsmakers and ordinary citizens.
News & International News. In 2011, we created the hashtag #rbnews and called on people to use it to tweet news. Hundreds thus became citizen journalists, and #rbnews was the second most popular hashtag in Greece in 2012. We collaborated with tweeters to develop a voluntary code of conduct regulating the use of the hashtag. Cross-checked information is published on our news pages, combining the tools of traditional journalism, new media and participatory reporting.
Hackademy. In 2012, we created this informal learning organization providing workshops and skill-sharing sessions in new media and participatory journalism. Hackademy connects civil society, media professionals and academic society.
The Blogs Section posts the thoughts of Greek bloggers and poets online, and publishes the free magazine Μπαχάρ* to bring them to print.
The Music Section proposes a diverse, and sometimes eclectic, selection of music to our radio listeners and readers of the blog, and organizes events and concerts in the radiobubble Café/Bar.
The Community Section hosts radio shows and podcasts produced and uploaded by citizens.

Our home is the radiobubble Café/Bar:
a space open to all, where Greek bloggers but also international
journalists and activists visiting Greece get to meet and chat (on air
or off air) about news, politics, arts, radio culture, technology and
new media.
We use the tools provided by new technologies to promote freedom of expression.
We have a vision that all citizens should participate in cultural and political life.
