Fred spoke briefly about attendance requirements. Attendance at the tactical media meetings is required in order to successfully complete your competencies. See the syllabus (http://fredjohnson.mwg.org/telecom/) for attendance requirements.
Fred suggested another book for those interested in additional reading. Fissures in the Mediascape: An International Study of Citizens' Media (Hampton Press Communication Series (Communication Alternatives Subseries).) (Hardcover) by Clemencia Rodriguez http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/1572733683/ref=sib_dp_top_ex/102-1713845-6616960?ie=UTF8&p=S00P#reader-link
Fred distributed two handouts. The first can help with our definitions of media. We discussed the use of the Video Praxis and use for future reference.
- Citizen’s Media: Dissent in the Realm of the Symbolic
- Video Praxis: Outline of a typology
