Our New Web Radio Station

image
We have finally gotten our radio station up. We are going to be scheduling talk shows in the coming week. I will post them all in a journal called radio. If you have any ideas or would like to have a show on the web, we can arrange that just email me paul@elmwoodstrip.com

You can find the link under the elmwood picture to the right. Its called Radio Free Elmwood. Once you click it will download the streaming mp3 fiel to the desktop. I find it works really well with iTunes for Mac and PC. iTunes is a free player available from

It also works with winAmp and Audion player and I'm sure many others.

I had my brother test this on his dial-up at home. It seemed to work fine.

Here is a shortcut to that link:

War and Media Conference at UB

image

Our very own Holly from elmwoodstrip has designed a page for the War and Media Conference being held at UB

The University at Buffalo's Department of Media Study presents the War & Media Conference on UB's North Campus, Center for the Arts, Nov. 17-18.

This international conference confronts the relations between war and the media from an array of cultural, artistic, and academic perspectives—with a special focus on the media coverage of the recent war in Iraq. The two-day conference will feature three panel discussions, each of which will be composed of distinguished speakers from around the world presenting on issues pertaining to their specific areas of expertise.

Coalition for Progressive Media

image

The Coalition for Progressive Media, is being established to facilitate and organize the development of progressive media in the Buffalo metropolitan area. Our first goal is to bring Democracy Now to Buffalo's airwaves. We firmly believe that there is a demand for truly independent media in our area; the huge success of our independent weeklies like Artvoice and Alt Press confirms this. Of course, making this happen will take some work, time, and money (estimates for air time on WUFO are around $20,000 per year for a daily one-hour program).

Amy Goodman, host of Democracy Now, has agreed to speak at our first fundraiser on Dec. 3 between 4-6:30. Democracy Now is the largest public media collaboration in the U.S., airing on over 140 stations in North America. It offers an alternative to the mainstream and corporate media through diverse programming which highlights progressive issues, including labor, peace activism, environmental policies, and civil liberties. While focusing on progressive topics, Democracy Now strives for and meets the highest standards of well-balanced professional journalism by featuring live debates between people who substantially disagree, such as between the White House or the Pentagon spokespeople on the one hand, and grassroots activists on the other.

We are currently working on both a flyer for the event and a trifold brochure that will include recent examples of what Democracy Now is airing five days a week throughout the country. Any help you could offer to publicize or support this event would be greatly appreciated. Anyone with media or design skills would be a valuable member of this new group. If you would like to join the coalition, please refer to the contact information below. Our next meeting will be held this Thursday 11/13 at 5:30PM at the address listed below. To learn more about Democracy Now, go to www.democracynow.org.

Sound Lab

We are going to soundlab tonight. They have moved to a new location on Pearl Street. I added a link to their site to links section on this page. Check it out if you want to go.

I seems to be a promising event. We had fun at the old soundlab happenings we went to plus we heard our very own Robin from the journal section is showing an experimental video. Wouldn't want to miss that. See you tonight.

The party was a success.

We had up to 60 people at any given point. Everyone was very happy it seemed. Lots of food and spirits. Holly won the best costume prize at

Not enough pictures were taken, except by Deidre (sorry if spelling's not right), who should mail us highlights (to the link on the right), or drop some by in person. Have some tea. If anyone else wants to add party picturs (hint, hint Emily, Andrea, coopers) feel free.

New Updates

The update page is extremely updates. Here it goes.

1. No more copying image code. Simply click on the image in your list and the code is automatically added to your entry.

2. No more Break tags for paragraphs. Line returns simply show up as types. Just hit enter.

3. To make a link simply type the address and it converts into a link. This has the disadvantage of not allowing you to make an image a link, but I think the speed increase in getting your thoughts and links out faster is worth it. Below is an example
