Presenters: Renée Feltz, Abdulai Bah, and Kristofer Ríos, Peoples Production House; Andalusia Knoll and Puck Lo, Free Speech Radio News

In this hands-on, workshop/lab series, the Community News Production Institute (CNPI)- a media justice project of People's Prodcution House- and Free Speech Radio News (FSRN) invite you to learn how to do community driven radio journalism. In two, 45 minute workshops, participants will learn how to document the news and events at the 2009 Allied Media Conference, edit their sound into a mini-documentry or radio segment, and have the opportunity to air their audio projects on a micro radio station that will be broadcast throughout the conference and webstreamed. Participants will also help complete a short sound collage using voices and sounds from the AMC that will be played at the closing plenary and posted on the AMC website.
