Local Media Workshop

Media groups in the volunteer/not-for-profit sector in Otago and Southland involved in publishing small photocopied newsletters, community internet sites and community radio will meet in Dunedin this October for a 'Community Media Workshop'.

"We tend to work in isolation on our individual projects," said 'Valley News' editor Geraldine Tait, who is one of the Workshop organisers. "It will be really interesting to see what others are doing and to share ideas."

The programme will include shared presentations, a keynote speaker, workshops and a discussion forum.

The Workshop will be hosted by Blueskin Media and the North East Valley Community Programme Inc (both are small volunteer/not-for-profit community newsletter publishers) and will be held on Saturday, 6 October 2007, 1pm-5pm, at North East Valley School.
