Community Supported Media: What Media Makers Can Learn From Community Food Distribution Systems

Scheduling
Session Description: 

Presenters: Malik Yakini, The Detroit Black Food Security Network; Wes Taylor, Emergence Media; Submerge Records; King Britt and more, TBA

In a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) system, people buy shares in a local farm and receive produce on a weekly basis throughout the growing season. We need home-grown media as much as we need home-grown food. This session will look at the history of cooperative media economies, present current models being used across the media spectrum, and brainstorm new models based on the visions and needs of the workshop participants, and exchange skills and ideas with local food cooperatives and CSAs.
