Making Media in Sudbury: Workshop and G20 Book Launch
January 14, 2012
Making Media in Sudbury: Two Events
1PM: Grassroots Media Workshop with Geordie Dent, co-founder of the Toronto Media Co-op
SOCIAL with refreshments between events. Learn some of the basics about writing for the media co-op -- gain some skills, get some tips, learn the process. As well, you'll get to hear about how the media co-op model works and the history of the network so far.
4PM: G20 Book Launch with Shailagh Keaney: Shailagh grew up in Sudbury and has written content both for the local site and for The Media Co-op more generally. She will be in town to launch a new book called "Whose Streets? The Toronto G20 and the Challenges of Summit Protest", which includes a piece by her called, "Women Resist, Police Repress: Stories of Gendered Police Violence at the Toronto G20." Come and celebrate the release of this new book and learn about the G20, resistance, and gender!
Come to one, the other, or both events!
Since early in 2011, a local group has been working hard to bring you a new grassroots media source located in Sudbury (http://www.mediacoop.ca/group/sudbury) but connected to a national network called The Media Co-op (http://www.mediacoop.ca/). We want YOU to write, photograph, report, opine, and blog, and we want you to share your work on our site -- we are most interested in local, original, journalistic writing but we are open to a wide range of material.
Time: 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Venue: The ERC (reThink Green Environmental Resource Centre)
Location: 176 Larch Street (back entrance) Sudbury, ON
