Hi everyone, Following up on a post I made in the summer now that we're settled into school agian. The next Conference for Media Reform looks like it is going to be really good. Free Press has been doing a lot of outreach to bring new people into the conversation.
It would be great to have some SFC people in the mix! I already submitted a session proposal related to my academic work but I am happy to help develop another proposal if folks have ideas!
