DESCRIPTION:Free Skool Winter 2012 class "Mass Media, a Critical Intro."\n\nPeople's 
 alternatives to corporate-owned news class\n\nDate and Time: Sat. Jan 7th, 
 2012 (this Saturday), 1 - 2 p.m.\n\nWhat to bring: Writing utensils & paper 
 (or laptop) will aid recall.\n\nDescription and aim:\n\nWe'll look at what 
 kinds of news tend to be omitted in the mass media, what kinds of things 
 are reported instead with a look at framing, and how we, ordinary people, 
 can find investigative reporting and alternative sources that will inform 
 us, allowing us understand domestic and world events not from the 
 perspective the of dominant power structure of the status quo and hopefully 
 lead to desire to participate in positive social change.\n\nLevel: From no 
 knowledge and up. All residents and not just regular free skool 
 participants are invited to attend and should take something away from this 
 class. Attendees will be given a list of some interesting alternative-press 
 resources.\n\nAsking questions about the content of the page below will 
 lead into what we'll talk about in the class.\n\nAnd Some Wonder Why 
 Americans Are So Dumbed 
 Down?\nhttp://www.commondreams.org/further/2011/11/26\n\nWe'll briefly talk 
 about how people's movements such as the occupy movement are framed in the 
 mass media and how independent media can spark change via more relevant 
 coverage of serious issues. Optional preliminary 
 reading:\n\nhttp://www.inthesetimes.org/article/12259/occupy_the_press/\n\nCheers.\n
