A reminder: My panel at the NYC Grassroots Media Conference is tomorrow at 2:45 pm at Hunter College.
Here’s the panel description:
Student activists are constantly struggling to build community, and new media offer powerful tools for making that happen. Our workshop will explore the role of activist-produced media in creating news, transforming existing narratives, and empowering students in the university and the larger society. The panel will consider the role of alternative and mainstream media in recent organizing at CUNY, NYU and the New School, examine how activists can make effective use of Facebook, Twitter and other social media tools, and illuminate how educators can bring activist-produced video into the classroom.
Our lineup is going to include folks talking about the use of blogs, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube in student organizing, and our presenters are a mix of undergrads, grad students, and others. It’s going to be a great session, and if you make it out, be sure to come say hi afterwards.
The whole conference is looking great, and it’s ridiculously cheap, so if you’re going to be in NYC tomorrow and you’re not already booked, you should be sure to stop by.
Saturday morning update: Conference tweeting is at the #nycgm hashtag. A photo of me is up here, if you’d like to say hi.
