Media In The Making - An Alt Media Workshop w/ TMC/Free Press/Dominion
Wednesday April 6th
1:30pm to 4pm
Student Centre RM.321
York University

Do you have a story idea or a video kicking around in your head that 
you've always wanted to work on, but don't know where to start or how to 
get your work published?
Do you have a blog but want to reach new people instead of just your 
facebook list?
Do you want to do more than just post a video on youtube but be part of 
a media collective?

Come and learn more about alternative media through a workshop by the 
York University Free Press and the Toronto Media Coop, in association 
with The Dominion.

Learn from experienced indie journalists and folks just like you have 
just started the journey to becoming media producers and editors. You'll 
learn how to delve the internet for deep investigative journalism, how 
to find people for interviews and get information out of the government.

You'll learn how to write in a news media style- it's easier than you 
think! We'll also hook you up with editors to get that story you've been 
mulling over out in the world, and together we'll come up with the 
stories around Toronto/York that need attention.

We'll have a participatory story meeting for the next issue of The Spoke 
(TMC's print publication), which we will publish based on stories from 
this workshop!

We'll hook you up with an editor and get your stories or videos 
published on either The Spoke, The Media Coop website, or the YU Free 
Press.
