STL Media Collective Writer's Meeting

Become part of local, independent, radical media! An alternaive media collective is forming in St. Louis to reinvigorate the St. Louis Independent Media Center website and to continue to publish Confluence. St. Louis is in dire needs of a more radical media that confronts the sensationalism and fear-mongering awash in our news choices. We will not find this radicalism amongst the corporate media, so we must create our own options!

We want to announce two important meetings in the coming weeks:

1.) The IMC and Confluence collectives will be meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 17, 7:30PM @CAMP 3026 Cherokee (@ Minnesota) in South St. Louis. The attendees of this meeting will consider items mostly of the organizational, logistical, and technological sorts. All are welcome to contribute to these discussions. We will promote an environment of tolerance and we will adhere to a consensus-based decision making process. Please forward this email or pass the word to anyone who has contributed to or might be interested in (or has been in the past) independent media.

2.) On Tuesday, September 23, 7:30PM a writer's collective will meet to discuss potential subjects for future news/political/cultural/etc. stories for IMC or Confluence Magazine. Unlike the IMC and Confluence meeting on 9/17, this meeting will be exclusively focused on brainstorming and writing news stories. If you have been looking for a forum to share your writing, this is your venue!
