Grassroots Journalism - Discussion with author Eesha Williams
New College Theater, 777 Valencia Street, San Francisco
Live Audio Webcast (see instructions below)
Award-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].
Williams, 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.
Grassroots 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.
Free. Sponsored by the New College Media Studies MA Program and Media Alliance.
