[CIMC-work] McChesney's Media Matters will feature Urbana Indymedia this week--worth linking to features?

[Elizabeth Fraser]

I know a few folks who get a strong signal for WILL-AM (Rogers Park
area), so folks may be able to catch this Sunday morning--at any rate,
once web-archived, this program may be worth adding to any continuing
coverage of the Urbana IndyMedia building violations stories...

Subject: Media Matters Weekly Update


Welcome to another edition of the WILL-AM Media Matters email update!

THIS WEEK'S GUESTS
--------------------------------
This weeks guests on Media Matters are Sascha Meinrath and Danielle
Chynoweth from the Urbana-Champaign Independent Media Center. The
Urbana-Champaign Independent Media Center is a grassroots organization
committed to using media production as tools for promoting social and
economic justice in the Urbana area. They are dedicated to addressing
issues that are neglected by the mainstream media and aim to be a voice
that empowers people to "become the media" by providing access to
available technologies and information. Among a host of very interesting
issues, Sascha Meinrath and Danielle Chynoweth talk about how the UCIMC
began, resources available to members of the Urbana-Champaign community
and the importance of independent media.

UPCOMING GUESTS

In the coming weeks we will feature Katrina vanden Heuvel, editor of the
Nation magazine, and Michael Albert of ZNet and Zmagazine. We will also
feature a show with University of Illinois Professor David Roediger,
author of The Wages of Whiteness: Race and the making of the American
Working Class together with Professor Sundiata Keita Cha-Jua, Director
of Afro-American Studies & Research Program at the University of
Illinois.

LAST WEEK'S GUEST

Last weeks guest on Media Matters is University of Illinois professor of

includes communication technology and public policy, the tension between
legal, social, and technical imperatives in the development of
communication systems, the regulation of non-instrumental media use, and
social constructionism. Recently, Prof. Sandvig was also a Visiting
Fellow at the Internet Institute, and a Markle Foundation Information
Policy Fellow at the Programme in Comparative Media Law and Policy.
Recent publications by Christian Sandvig include Public Internet Access
for Young Children in the Inner City: Evidence to Inform Access Subsidy
