[Clint Popetz]

Radio News Group:

Attending: Avram (facilitating), Josh, Clint (Notetaking), Mike Kopp,
Nancy, Russ


Nancy is writing a proposal for a grant from the Paul Robeson fund for
independent media, which we fit perfectly,  Nancy needs feedback from
the news list about what we do, and would like the list of names of
people who do the most reporting, and a list of our best shows.  Avram
says Danielle's report on the SoA protest last year.  Mike Feltes' and
Dan Chambers report of labor, which was replayed on the labor hour.  As
for people to talk to: Danielle, Avram, Pauline, Dan, Michael.

Discussion of funding a stringer to Palestine...Clint is going to be
in contact with Andrew, and pull content from him over the two weeks
that he is there, and turn it into content for the newswire and the
newshour.  We will try using a PayPal button on the story to support
Andrew's expenses, and we'll try to get some stories to FSRN.  When he
returns, he'll do a panel discussion in several cities.

Clint will do headlines for Monday with Avram.

A discussion occurred of audio training and such for the new people.
Josh has quite a bit of experience in this area...we were all suitably
awed.
