DESCRIPTION:Thursday, March 22 at 7:00 PM\n \nGRASSROOTS JOURNALISM with AUTHOR EESHA 
 WILLIAMS\n \nNew College Theater, 777 Valencia St, San Francisco \n\nFree!  
 \n\nJoin journalist and author Eesha Williams for a discussion of his 
 newly-revised book Grassroots Journalism (second edition published 2007). 
 \n\nGrassroots Journalism is the essential handbook for a new kind of 
 community journalism that shows people how actively engaging in public 
 issues can make a difference in the quality of their own lives—and the 
 world. The book is full of real-world examples where grassroots journalism 
 worked—and resulted in positive change. Chapters cover the nuts and bolts 
 of writing grassroots news articles, how to make sure your articles are 
 read, and how the mainstream media suppress stories that challenge the 
 status quo. This book is an indispensable guidebook for journalists, 
 journalism students, and citizen activists. The thoroughly revised and 
 updated second edition, with expanded sections on electronic media, labor 
 writing, and getting your articles published, contains everything you'll 
 need to be an effective, published journalist, who makes an impact in your 
 community. \n\n*   "If information is the currency of democracy, then it's 
 a good practice for journalism to be of, by, and for the people in the 
 search and reporting of abuses from concentrated power. Eesha Williams 
 brings this kind of grassroots journalism to your desk, to your mind, and 
 to your heart with the highest of standards. A very motivating manual 
 indeed!"— Ralph Nader. \n\n*   "Grassroots Journalism is the long overdue 
 antidote to traditional journalism textbooks that have stripped the 
 politics and passion from newsgathering."— Robert McChesney \n\nSponsored 
 by Global Exchange, New College Media Studies MA Program, and Media 
 Alliance . \n\nFor more information contact: June Brashares, Global
