Today, the Associated Press’s […]

Quick hit: If you have Free Speech TV, tune in to Grit TV with Laura Flanders tonight at 8pmEST for a more in-depth discussion of the murder of Dr. George Tiller than you’ll find in most media accounts. Or, watch the segment here:
The segment — titled “What Should Change in Wake of Tiller Murder?” […]

With outrage rising at today’s widely reported murder of doctor George Tiller at his church, many news outlets are reporting this crime as if it were a completely unpredictable aberration. As if this cold-blooded killing of this abortion provider for political purposes is somehow unthinkable.
A lesson from the Wayback Machine could be illuminating for […]

By now anyone with any access to media anywhere would have heard, read about and probably seen a video of the flogging incident in Pakistan, news and visuals of which were apparently circulated via mobile phones and the Internet before the event was reported by The Guardian and, I understand, The Times in the UK […]

I wish this were an April Fool’s prank (it’s ludicrous enough to be, isn’t it?), but as you read here yesterday, a Boston NBC affiliate ripped off a story from youth media producers. For a follow-up on yesterday’s guest post by Cara Lisa Powers, see today’s release from Press Pass TV.

Full disclosure, I am the Co-Director of Press Pass TV, a youth organization in Boston. This weekend, we shot a story at the home of a community member, who had a scare Friday night when shots were fired outside his children’s bedroom. The upstairs neighbor had shots fired into her […]

Cynthia Lopez, vice president of documentary for P.O.V, is WAM!2009’s opening keynoter.
I listened to but didn’t liveblog the wonderful opening remarks from Jaclyn Friedman or Irene Villisonor (sp), and listened but wasn’t able to liveblog the beginning of the Cynthia Lopez’s remarks. But WAM! will eventually have all the sessions’ full video available, so do […]

Hi all, I’m going to attempt to liveblog the “Women Reporting on the Global Frontlines” panel - it’s the opening session of WAM!2009, the Women, Action and Media conference (of which WIMN is proud to be a supporting sponsor).
I’m going to do the best I can to just transcribe what these brilliant and […]
