The Allied Media Conference will be taking place this weekend, June 20 through 22, on the campus of Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. The conference will be a parley of alternative media makers and social justice workers from across the country and around the world.
We are delighted to announce that BE THE MEDIA will be distributing 50 free galleys to attendees of this conference. According to Adrienne Maree Brown, executive director of the Ruckus Society, "The upcoming Allied Media Conference is all about bringing tools and skills back into the community: video-blogging, creating web zines, low power radio production,etc."
BE THE MEDIA is an appropriate book for attendees of this conference because it discusses all of that and more. The first half of the book teaches people how to self-publish blogs, music, film, podcasts, zines, etc. and the second half covers community media such as Low Power FM radio, Public Access TV, Community Media Centers, and much more. See the Table of Contents for further information.
BE THE MEDIA would like to thank David Rubinson for volunteering to underwrite the cost of the books and for getting them into the hands of people who can use them. David was the founder of the Automatt Recording Studio in the 1970s and produced an astounding list of musicians, including Herbie Hancock, the Pointer Sisters, Santana, Janis Joplin, Moby Grape, Jefferson Airplane, and Taj Mahal. He was also the music producer for the film Apocalypse Now (1979).
