Hi there, I know it seems early, but it's time to send blurbs,
specials, artwork for the January 2010 Listener Guide. We're trying
to beat some of the holiday mail deluge...

A special note: KBOO is experimenting with distribution of the the
guide over the next few months in order to save money on postage. In
the future, the guide may change its focus and print schedule.
Arthur, Sun and I are open to your suggestions on how to serve
listeners and programmers, so let us know your thoughts.

Thanks!
Kathy

There are lots of options - daytime, evening, weekend, in order to give every host a chance to come to one session - basically, if you're a Music Host, sign up for one of the Music Hosting sessions, and if you're a Public Affairs host, sign up for one of the Public Affairs Hosting sessions.   

I just want to emphasize how important it is that every host attend these trainings - community radio is in crisis, and we really need to focus on the station's on-air sound - this is critical to KBOO's survival!

As an added incentive, at the workshop you will be given a critical listening assignment, to be turned in by January 21st.  Everyone who turns it in on time will be entered in a drawing for a number of great prizes!

Please RSVP to Chris Merrick at chrism_8032@... OR sign up on the bulletin board at the station.

WeMakeTheMedia.org - A Call to Action

Oregon and Portland region newspapers are cutting back. Local TV News is only weather, sports, mayhem and fluff.  Radio is more talk than news. The Internet is challenging the traditional advertising-based scaffolding for reporting and journalism.

The journalism we want and need is dying, dead - or yet to be born. The time has come for new approaches, tools, business models, and media organizations to be built and nurtured. Our democracy demands:

• Good reporting, which, at least most of the time, requires paying people to do it.
• A watchdog function - investigative journalism.
• Fact finders to verify and separate truth from fiction.

Where should our local community go from here?

Join us at the WeMakeTheMedia.org Conference to help us plan our response and build a new community journalism enterprise for the Portland metropolitan region.

This open, democratic meeting is structured with seven facilitated breakout sessions to create a vision of desirable "end states" for our Portland community response.

KBOO is happy to announce a benefit with Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman (pictured here) and editor of her new book "Breaking the Sound Barrier" Denis Moynihan. Amy and Denis will be speaking about her new book and all ticket sales will benefit KBOO Community Radio.

More about Breaking the Sound Barrier:

By Amy Goodman, Edited by Denis Moynihan
Foreword by Bill Moyers

Amy Goodman breaks through the corporate media’s lies, sound-bites, and silence in this wide-ranging new collection of articles. In place of the usual suspects, the “experts” who, in Goodman’s words, “know so little about so much, explain the world to us, and get it so wrong," this accessible, lively collection allows the voices the corporate media exclude and ignore to be heard loud and clear. From community organizers in New Orleans, to the courageous American soldiers who’ve said “No” to Washington’s wars, to the victims of torture and police violence, we are given the extraordinary opportunity to hear ordinary people standing up and speaking out. As Willie Nelson says, “There is no one who should be more on the mainstream media, every day reminding us and giving us a glimpse of the power of one.”

Written with all of the fierce intelligence and passion for truth that millions have come to expect from Amy Goodman’s reportage, Breaking the Sound Barrier is, in Arianna Huffington’s words, “crusading journalism at its best.”

PSU's Food for Thought Cafe
Smith Memorial Union Basement (south side)

This panel will feature four leaders of the successful direct action to shut

the organizing and historical alliance-building of 1999, as well as some of
the lessons they've learned through a decade of organizing since.  We will
continue the conversation with questions from the audience, identifying
challenges we still struggle with today.  Come with your movement-building
questions and curiosity.  Panelists include:

Nancy Haque:  In 1999, Nancy was staff with Portland Jobs with Justice and
Jane WTO #520.  Nancy organized for both the direct action and the labor
march, while also being a member of the Superstars affinity group.  Today,
she is the Building Political Power Director of the Western States Center.

Rev. Joseph Santos-Lyons.  In 1999, Joseph was co-founder of Portlanders
Against the WTO and a member of an Asian-American affinity group.  Today, he
is the Community Development Coordinator at the Immigrant and Refugee
Community Organization and serves on the board of Coalition for a Livable
Future.

Cara Shufelt:  In 1999, Cara was a student organizer of the Radical Action
Group at Lewis and Clark College, helping mobilize over 100 students to join
the direct action.  Today, she is Co-Director of the Rural Organizing
Project.

Andrea Townsend:  In 1999, Andrea participated in the direct action in
Seattle as a student organizer at Franklin High School.  Today, she is an
organizer with the Oregon Fair Trade Campaign, mobilizing people to protest
the new WTO Ministerial on December 5th.

This event is free and open to the public.  Sponsored by ORFTC, Students for
Unity and creating democracy.

Oregon Sierra Club
1821 SE Ankeny St * Portland, OR

The the Columbia Group of the Oregon Sierra Club as they host a potluck
discussion about the ways in which "free trade" policies adversely affect
the environment.  It includes a presentation by ORFTC director Arthur
Stamoulis on:
How the World Trade Organization (WTO) has forced the rollback of parts of
the Endangered Species Act, Clean Air Act and other landmark environmental
laws
How existing trade pacts are contributing to "rip and ship" resource
extraction in some of the world's most biodiverse forests
How the WTO handcuffs governments' ability to address climate change,
forcing future policies to conform to restrictive commercial agreements
How trade policies could be changed to help protect the environment, and how
you can get involved
If possible, please bring a food item to share -- but if you're running
late, still come anyway.  There will be plenty of food and drink to go
around.  This event is free and open to the public
