[Seattle-editorial] Volunteer Stuff

[typist at speakeasy.net]

Adam, I didn't see a response to your email yet so feel the need to say something. The work at the IMC is all volunteer driven, so basically if there's something you want to do, you need to just step in and start doing it.  Ask questions and someone usually responds, come to meetings and watch the lists to know know what's going on.  As far as writing, go for it, whatever is your interest, and post to the newswire.  You can then propose on this list that something on the wire be made into a feature story (although right now we're all still trying to figure out the new code base).  To find out more, come to the editorial meeting this Saturday at the IMC space on Third Avenue at 2:00, I believe that's the agreed time.

We'd love your help, so please step right on in.

Judy

I've recently arrived in  the Seattle area and I'm going to be around until between January 31. I'm interested in working with the editorial group on stories during the upcoming month as the majority of my journalistic media experience comes from the written editorial format.
