Does your community need more independent media?

Thanks to national legislation, we are facing the biggest expansion of
community radio <http://prometheusradio.org/start_a_station> in US history,
with stations soon to be available in most major cities where they can
reach up to half a million listeners. Learn how to form a local coalition
to start a radio station in your community and stream online. Integrate
multimedia, community engagement, arts, and journalism into your station. Learn
about public broadband and community wireless.  Produce media, get
fundraising support, and learn how to do outreach.

Whether you're an experienced broadcaster, or if you've never made media
before, come learn how you can help expand community radio and amplify
voices in your town or city! Look at the
sessions<http://grassrootsradioconference.org/sessions> and
presenters <http://grassrootsradioconference.org/presenters>.
