On January 30, Rad Ref helped out at a podcasting workshop, as part of the NYC Grassroots Media Coalition's "Make This NetWORK" series (we are a partner organization with the GMC).

On Saturday, January 30, Emily, Kate, and I went up to Hunter College to conduct a workshop on research and fact-checking for members of the collective who put out IndyKids, "a free newspaper and teaching tool that aims to inform children on current news and world events from a progressive perspective and to inspire a passion for social justice and learning."

1. Please add items you think people should read ahead of time.
2. Please keep them in anti-chronological order.
3. Feel free, encouraged even, to provide some annotation.
4. Please volunteer to summarize one item for the group at the salon by putting your name after it in parentheses, like this: (Farfel)
