Alliance for Community Media Pre-Conference Session!

Hosted by Tactical Media Group and UMB Community Media & Technology Program

Community Media 21 C: A facilitated Seminar and Conversation in the Round
Wednesday, July 5, 2006 - 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm

This three-hour seminar/discussion will explore the issues critical to community media, community development and local democratic communications. Invited practitioners and theorists from a diverse range of community media work will provide short statements or provocations that are then addressed by participants in a facilitated fashion. A partial list of topics or issues would include cross platform collaborations; framing PEG Access in a cross platform, networked environment; the bifurcation of television into a world of high-low res; creative economic development and the role of community media in that sector. While the event is primarily focused on stimulating dialogue and collaboration, there will be a modest attempt to build consensus around key elements in the discussion. The writing and video for the event will be shared via media streaming and an on-line multimedia publication.

This event will take place on the UMass campus, easily reached by public transit on the MBTA Subway Red Line.
