Announcing the first Brighton & Hove Community Reporters Meetup
Community Journalism ;-) Angels just starting off - good to talk to Brighton & Hove. Eliz try via twitter: http://twitter.com/BrightonHoveCC
See how they're developing. Angels could have a tater for Journalism. You could link this to Literacy, persuasive text, etc. ;-) So Angels could do courses and link these "revisions" to filming, documentary projects to do social action ;-) fundraising ;-)
lots of fab ideas here for us to adapt in our own way.....do you think we could find funding to go to Long Beach, CA, to hear Erin Gruwell speak? ha ha x
