[CIMC-working] Re: Pistil Magazine vs. Chicago Indy Media

[Rita Sand Maniotis]

Dear Jenny Inzerillo:

I'll have to get back to you about the mailing list.  We are having a
meeting this coming sunday and I will ask how it works.  

I'm assuming that the mailing list would mostly be outreach to help
organizations who are out there on the street keep up to date with
publishing procedures on the Indy website and also to let interested
folks know when we are holding fundraisers.  We are an entirely
volunteer run organization, therefore, we count on donations to pay our
rent and help us purchase the supplies we need to keep going.

I would be happy to talk with you anytime.  I help produce the monthly
radio show from Chicago Indymedia on 88.7 WLUW, so I concentrate mainly
on audio but I can put  you in touch with print and video folks.

Thanks for your interest.
