<p> 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 (<a href="http://Coastsider.com" target="_blank">Coastsider.com</a>,

<h3>Replaying Lost Landscapes:<br>
Film Fragments of San Francisco</h3>
<h4>December 19 </h4>
<p> 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.
