I appreciate the work you all are doing. 10:48:08 From Karen Medina : The Public i on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UCIMCPublici 10:51:26 From Stuart Levy (UCIMC) : Do you hear from other people who are doing publications like the public i --- are there peers elsewhere? 10:51:51 From Stuart Levy (UCIMC) : Do you hear from other people who are doing publications like the public i --- are there peers elsewhere? 10:55:11 From Phalonna Stewart : https://fb.me/e/3LHwLwGhm 10:55:44 From Phalonna Stewart : this is our publication take a look at this, we have viewers who see this each time we drop it 10:56:10 From Phalonna Stewart : https://www.smore.com/4z7m0 10:56:19 From Phalonna Stewart : this is the link sorry the first was the zoom link to this meeting 11:01:18 From Phalonna Stewart : we offer so many programs and there are more coming. there is so much happening in the community we are not aware of 11:01:55 From Phalonna Stewart : we have to document our stories and keep consistently reaching our no matter how dry the engagement may be 11:02:18 From Heather Rose : I agree 11:06:02 From Paul Mueth : Bye for now 11:06:18 From Phalonna Stewart : its the bittersweet part of the internet we can spread good news and truth fast and the lies get the same speed 11:07:43 From Miriam (she/her) : Media Justice is doing great work on disinformation and how it disproportionately impacts communities of color 11:08:05 From Miriam (she/her) : They have a session this coming Tuesday at 12pm. Please message me if you'd like to sign up! 11:08:24 From Stephanie Cockrell : There is so much happening that the community is not aware of. If you desire to create a culturally relevant experience for readers, we have to be willing to utilize non-traditional communication methods. “The primary way people in the target population will learn about this program is through social media as “Black social media users have been particularly likely to say that these sites are personally important to them for getting involved with issues they care about or finding like-minded people” (Auxier, 2020). 11:10:10 From Miriam (she/her) : I learned about this article from Media Justice - it's about Black Audiences Online - https://www.abpartners.co/ourwork/beyond-demography 11:12:40 From A Rickman : Thank you for this wonderful talk, and for all of the fantastic people who make grassroots journalism so strong in CU. Can IMC folks please share their feelings about the role of -community- in public journalism and in social justice advanced by grassroots journalism like the Public I and WRFU? This isn’t just individual action. Thanks! 11:13:01 From Stuart Levy (UCIMC) : Another question, about comparing the pace of kinds of journalism. I saw an article from someone who'd lived in Sri Lanka during its civil war, describing -- well, a society in collapse. An uncle was killed by a bomb... and yet people went about their daily work, attended cultural events, dated... Abnormal things came to feel normal. What does it take for journalism to provide that sort of memory, that what we consider routine now would have seemed appalling to someone just a few years ago -- or, on the other side, that our struggles now are parallel to ones of fifty years ago, or 150? 11:13:39 From Stephanie Cockrell : Me too, Tiger 11:14:42 From Stephanie Cockrell : Absolutely 11:14:51 From Lisa Chason : Sounds like what you’re describing Stuart could be a theater piece, the subject of a play 11:18:54 From Phalonna Stewart : I felt the same way i was so worried about it being very business and formal meeting style and I loved how professional yet down to earth it was to meet the people behind the Public i. 11:19:05 From Phalonna Stewart : On meeting with the Public I. 11:19:20 From Mark Enslin : When the IMC was on Main Street I was part of a collective that did IMC radio news on WEFT - the necessity to have a show every week was difficult for me, but it got me to events and places and groups that I would not have otherwise and were life-changing for me — one instance was when Amira Davis came to the IMC wanting to engage in work on racism in the unit 4 school system — one set of interviews we did was at Champaign-Urbana days in 2000 … so being involved in grassroots journalism was important for my own education and activism 11:20:52 From Stephanie Cockrell : Such a great point, Mugiko. Thank you so much for sharing your perspective. 11:22:09 From Mark Enslin : “Making media space” — important part of this 11:26:04 From Richard Esbenshade : That kind of cooperation between Public i and WEFT was resurrected about 5 years ago, there was an effort to make a progressive community calendar and have it promoted/expounded on the radio every week. We had a few shows interviewing article authors and otherwise bringing Public i articles to the radio, but unfortunately, it didn’t last for the long-term. 11:32:49 From Phalonna Stewart : I am currently researching for the best platform to host it from. I would love suggestions on such. I want each day to have categories like art, politics, music, theater, economics, city meetings. literally everyone working together. 11:33:01 From Phalonna Stewart : on the community calender... 11:33:47 From Stephanie Cockrell : When you write articles like this, who's perspective is it written from? If people are listening to the broadcast, who are they listening to? Who's voice is being amplified? 11:35:19 From Stephanie Cockrell : thewellexperience.org 11:35:42 From Karen Medina : Janice 11:44:44 From George Hardebeck : Hi All, was joining through Facebook, following another class on line. Will need to leave a few minutes early. Enjoying you program. Thx!George 11:52:48 From Stephanie Cockrell : Thanks, Tygr. Same here. 11:54:14 From Heather Rose : I agree, 11:54:21 From Stephanie Cockrell : Yes 11:57:50 From Kathryn Oberdeck : Thanks for this great discussion…..have to hop out but hope recording will be available!! Great teaching resource. 11:59:55 From George Hardebeck : Grateful you mention 'balance' Tyga! Can we even allow ourselves to imagine a mutual economy - how we share life - allow ourselves to discuss, setting such a standard, so we can move into mutual society, culture, even ecology? 12:03:27 From Mark Enslin : thank you everybody - energizing discussion! 12:03:31 From Stephanie Cockrell : Let's make sure there is a cultural presence. Truth is, many People of Color will not feel comfortable sharing with this audience. Just something to consider. Thank you all! 12:03:43 From Phalonna Stewart : Thanks everyone for all the comments and shared info this was lovely 12:03:49 From A Rickman : Thank you! 12:05:40 From Miriam (she/her) : Danielle said she has a street news plan
