This interactive workshop delivers a birds eye overview of media for organizing from three perspectives and then swoops in on specific skillshares. 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/
