M.<br><br>
Mark reported on the steering group:<br><br>
1) People from WORT-FM in Madison will be in town on Feb. 9 from Noon - 4
to discuss public affairs production.<br><br>
2) Steering group changed funding for groups: Instead of $100/month
per group, it's now $200 to start, then $50/month beginning in
February.<br><br>
3) Mother Jones: Paul R. said he won't touch it any more unless we get a
new (physical) mixer, cost est. $200. We discussed our needs and
agreed that we DESPERATELY want a stable, usable MoJo, and that we'll
contribute $100 to the purchase of the mixer. <br><br>
Also decided to buy 50 minidiscs, so they're available for news
production. IF YOU TAKE MINIDISCS, WRITE DOWN YOUR NAME AND THE
NUMBER OF DISCS YOU TOOK.<br><br>

Pauline will air shift. Mark E. has Cuba info ready to go.
Headlines: <br>
Danielle -- Rent-a-center gender discrimination lawsuit<br><br>
Danielle's proposal: We do radio from 1:15 - 2, then collaborate
with Public I from 2 - 2:45, then Public I from 2:45 - whenever.
Talk about article collaborations, cross-publicity, and other shared
interests. We agreed to try it out.<br><br>
Half hour IMC Newshour? Yes. Forces us to craft it better,
can put hour-long shows into two-program series, more people can use it
nationally, easier to find producers. Args against: We need the
time to get the content out.<br><br>
