DESCRIPTION:This lecture and workshop will focus on how, if one is willing to take some 
 risks, it is relatively easy to work as an independent journalist in this 
 climate where the mainstream media is in a self-described "crisis." With 
 newspaper sales diminishing and fewer people than ever watching TV for 
 their news, the internet leaves the door open for those willing to take 
 creative (and sometimes personal) risks in an effort towards getting the 
 truth out. We will investigate the cracks in the foundation of the dominant 
 media monolith that allow our seeds of resistance to sprout.\n\nDahr Jamail 
 is an independent journalist who has been covering the Middle East for five 
 years. He reported for 8 months from occupied Iraq, and is the author of 
 "Beyond the Green Zone: Dispatches from an Unembedded Journalist in 
 Occupied Iraq." Jamail writes regularly for Inter Press Service, Foreign 
 Policy in Focus, and TomDispatch.com. He has also been published in The 
 Independent, The Guardian, The Sunday Herald, The Nation, and Al-Jazeera, 
 among others.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2008/10/25/18546600.php
