Be The Media! Hudson Mohawk Magazine Skillshare: Volunteer-Powered News, with Norman Stockwell
June 27, 2022 @ 8:00 pm – 8:30 pm EDT
Join the legendary independent journalist Norman Stockwell, who for 20 years was Operations Coordinator in Madison Wisconsin’s WORT-FM Community Radio during the glory years of one of the very best community radio stations ever! WORT is famous for having a very effective volunteer powered news department. Learn from Norman about how he and WORT successfully realized their independent journalism platform, and strategize how we can incorporate their successes into our volunteer-driven Hudson Mohawk Magazine.
Hudson Mohawk Magazine hosts monthly Be The Media! sessions on the last Monday of each month, where we invite seasoned community radio and radio activists to share their skills with HMM producers and the general public. Join us to learn about radio production, and how to have a voice to make a difference!
