NAAME has an interest in music as alternative media and education. That’s why we are happy to launch two projects in recent months that we have been working on for a long time. We also recently took on a fiscally sponsored project that is music oriented and fits right in. Together these three projects use music as a medium for different results in empowering people and communities.

In this workshop we will cover the basics of using community media organizing from three different perspectives, and drawing on each of our diverse backgrounds and skill sets. The main sections will cover DIY media making, how to get the mainstream media to tell your story (called earned media), and a introduction to models of collaborative media networks. Specific examples of skills we can teach are; ripping and converting video materials for use in DIY video production, organizing a press conference, and how to conduct a radio interview.

The main sections will cover DIY media making, how to get the mainstream media to tell your story (earned media), and conceptualizing collaborative media. Each section discusses examples of media organizations doing positive work in these forms, as well as short skill shares on tangible skills that participants can use in their own personal and campaign work. This workshop is organized by the Northwest Alliance for Alternative Media Education (NAAME). http://www.naame.org/
