DESCRIPTION:Thursday, January 8th, 7:00 pm\n\nGrassroots Journalism - Discussion with 
 author Eesha Williams\n\nNew College Theater, 777 Valencia Street, San 
 Francisco\n\nLive Audio Webcast (see instructions below) \n\nAward-winning 
 journalist Eesha Williams will discuss his book Grassroots Journalism: A 
 Practical Manual for Doing the Kind of Newswriting that Doesn't Just Get 
 People Angry, But Active — That Doesn't Just Inform, But Inspires  [Apex 
 Press].\n\nWilliams, a Vermont-based freelance journalist, is winner of 
 Vermont’s highest award for investigative journalism for 2003, the 
 Vermont Press Association's Mavis Doyle Award.  According to the Boston 
 Globe (5/22/2003) Williams, who had been a staff reporter, was fired for 
 union organizing last year by the Brattleboro Reformer daily newspaper, 
 which (like the Oakland Tribune) is owned by the Denver Post 
 chain.\n\nGrassroots Journalism is a practical manual for the kind of 
 newswriting that does not just get people aroused, but gets them engaged in 
 the struggle to build a better world. The book has won  praise (see back 
 cover at www.yahoo.com) from Ralph Nader, Columbia Journalism Review, 
 three-time Santa Cruz mayor Michael Rotkin, Norman Solomon, Andrea Buffa, 
 Robert McChesney, John Nichols, Janine Jackson and others. \n\nFree. 
 Sponsored by the New College Media Studies MA Program and Media Alliance.
