Save the News! December 12

Newsrooms are hamstrung by the business practices of Wall Street and Big
Media, even as newspaper circulation declines and TV news continues the race
to the bottom. Both the San Francisco Chronicle and San Jose Mercury News
recently laid off large portions of their newsroom staff. The Internet is
vulnerable to the same marketplace compromises. Explore alternative business
models to ensure journalism remains a lively piece of our civic life. Barry
Parr (Coastsider.com, Mercury Center founder), Michael Stoll (Grade the
News, SJSU, SF Public Press), Rose Aguilar, (KALW-FM, Your Call radio), Josh
Wilson (Newsdesk.org/Indy Arts), Northern California Media Workers' Carl
Hall.

*That's right! Next Wed. Dec. 19, at CounterPULSE, 1310 Mission at 9th, at
7:30:*
Replaying Lost Landscapes:
Film Fragments of San Francisco December 19

Rick Prelinger of the Prelinger Archive and Library returns to reprise his
popular show from last year, with some new surprises. Drawing from silent
and early sound films, exuberant early 1960s city views, diverse home movies
and industrial films, this program includes rarely-seen views of San
Francisco and invites the audience to help identify mystery scenes. *Bring
your parents!*
hope to see everyone before the year end!
