CRITICAL ISSUES FACING NEWS MEDIA SUBJECT OF CONFERENCE MARCH 7-8 Critical issues facing the news media will be the subject of a two-day conference opening March 7 that will draw top authorities to the Massachusetts School of Law at Andover . Five Pulitzer Prize winners as well as the directors of several media foundations will be among the presenters to discuss, “Full Court Press: Facing and Fixing Media Problems.” “As well as undergoing transformative changes in technology that are shaking up the news industry as never before, journalists are being challenged to gather and report the news accurately from hazardous battlefields in the Middle East to the offices of Washington bureaucrats bent on classifying everything as secret. The journalists are not doing well,” said Lawrence Velvel, dean and cofounder of the Massachusetts School of Law at Andover and conference convener. Start: 13:00

I have just received confirmation that Congressman John Conyers (MI) has accepted the invitation from the PNHP Philadelphia Metropolitan Chapter (Physicians for a National Health Plan) and HCAP to speak on HR 676 and what all of us need to do to muster massive support. Please make plans to attend this program. They have not yet discussed the Agenda as they received the confirmation from Conyers' office yesterday. We will need much publicity for the program as we need to fill the 200 + seats. We (HCAP & PNHP members) are looking for all to help (each of you) with publicity. Although the program is free and open, we will encounter travel charges for Conyers and perhaps an assistant Wash DC to Philly to Detroit. Therefore we will be passing the hat there to pay for the trip. Thanks again and please mark your calendars and get the word out. | ||

Fellow Jackson Heights Progressives, Drinking Liberally started in Manhattan in May 2003 as a support group for liberals and spread like wildfire across the country. Chapters meet every week at a local bar to chat and make new friends. But what if we did more than drink and chat? What if we discussed concrete changes that we can bring about in our communities - and beyond? That's the idea behind Changing Liberally. With your help, we hope to turn this idea into reality. We've ordered light buffet for $7.50 each. Drinks (beer and wine) are a la carte. | ||

Bring the Backbone Campaign's Procession for the Future to Your Campus! As you know, getting media attention and recruiting for our causes can sometimes feel dreary. The Backbone Campaign has learned that in terms of media and recruitment - SIZE MATTERS! Therefore we've created our Procession for the Future parade, consisting of over 20 giant puppets, icons and colorful banners.
