[Imc-midwest-regional] Regional Indymedia Gathering in Urbana, Illinois.

[Elizabeth M. Lee]

One topic which might be interesting (for me at least, I'm kind of new to 
the subject) is the centralization of media (newspaper, radio, etc.).  I'd 
also be interested in learning more about pirate radio stations and 
underground stations, also maybe some zine/community-oriented 
newspapers.  I know at Ladyfest there was a zine workshop but was not able 
to go -- perhaps folks who saw it could say if it was worthwhile?  Also how 
about theatre/film topics?
