"Creating Media for Social Change" @ SLU
Personally, I have zero interest in this topic (no... wait... I do!) and the event's taking place on the quick, but... there may be some in our reading audience that will enjoy this topic and will have some time free on Saturday morning for a bit of new media action. At the very least, it's something to think about while waiting for the post-ironic return of the rotary phone.
