EXTRA CREDIT
I really think tonight’s meeting went well and I hope you all do as well.
Just to put us all on the same page:
We are hosting a workshop on January 23rd at Stern College for Women from 8:00 to 9:30. (Prof. Pimpare: Please let us know when this is official)
While our main focus is on objectivity, we will be addressing other issues at our workshop as well.
The workshop will consist of four stations
1) Negative Political Advertisements
This station will show how ads are becoming increasingly negative and explain to those in attendance why this is a bad trend in US politics
Committee: Shani Muschel and Shuli
2) New Media
This station will enlighten students about what new media is, why it is important and what it has been achieving. They will show students how to create blogs.
Committee: Jackie Saxe, Laura Shuman and Alex
3) Applying this to the Student
This station will cover The Observer and The Commentator, explaining to the men and women in attendance why media objectivity is a pertinent issue to them and how it applies to all media, no matter how specialized and small the audience is.
Committee: Shalom and Jonathan
(Not to take charge or anything but if you could really run your presentation by me I would appreciate it since I have a lot at stake here)
4) Objectivity
This station will show different examples of public deception in the media
Committee: Julia Frankston-Morris, Moshe, Sam
There will also be an Advertising Committee in charge of making signs and thinking about what should be written on the cards and pamphlets given out.
Committee: Alana Rubenstein, Ari, Spencer
Maytal - you expressed an interest in logistics ie funding, food, organizing the obtaining of multimedia tools etc. Are you still on board with this role? If not, are you interested in joining the advertising committee?
Regardless of the jobs delegated above, this is still a class project. Therefore, if people have ideas for their peers please share them. We also need people to make up the poll. In addition, if anyone has advanced technological skills or is a talented graphic designer make it known because these skills will come in handy.
Again, this is a class project so everyone should know what is going on with everyone. Please post any ideas of advancements being made here. I can also create new posts when necessary.
Also, everyone should eventually post what type of multimedia equipment they think they will need so that the MIS people can be notified before the event.
If I forgot anything feel free to let me know or just post a comment.

lesssss do it
hey,
sorry i wasnt there last night. im still on with logistics (julia i think was helping me) if you need for advertising as well let me know... also, let me know how much funding i should ask for so i can call student council.
thanks guys!
p.s. best class ever
maytal, since your on the poli sci board, can u find out how much posters and printing stuff costs? Then we can find out how much money we think we'll need.
Also, I guess depending on how much people want to give us would determine what kind and where we get refreshments from.
Also, if anyone else is going to need money for their stations post it so maytal can see it

For the "New Media" booth, I thought of something that you may want to include in your presentation. Check out the link to my blog,

Although we might still be able to get the room for the date and time we want (it still hasn't been confirmed yet) according to Jane in the office there's a "major school-wide welcome back event" planned for the 23rd.
Do we want to keep that date anyway or change to the 30th?
Please post your opinion and then well choose a date according to the majority opinion.
so i emailed free press org, the foundation mcchesney established, told them what we are doing and asked if they had any suggestions for running it and effectively raising awareness. still waiting to hear back, will keep you posted...
