[Imc] WILL program

[Paul Riismandel]

I think it sounds great.  We should encourage him to become a member of IMC 
and the news collective.  Alliances with other organizations are good, but 
I think whenever possible we should get people involved so that the 
relationship is not one of provider (IMC) and client, but more like we're 
truly working cooperatively.

It may be difficult or unrealistic for WILL, as institution, or even Jay 
Pearce to become full members--but that will, necessarily, limit the nature 
of the relationship between IMC and WILL.  It will be more difficult for us 
to cooperate as equals.

It's fine to offer IMC content for people's programs on WILL, WEFT or any 
other noncomm station, but I think overall it's in everyone's best interest 
for us to work as collective equals as much as possible.

Is there a reason why Jason wouldn't want or be able to do some interviews 
at the open house?
