[Imc-web] new feature? why?

[Paul Bengt Riismandel]

I figured that's it, but I still think it's better to encourage people
to write features. It takes more work, and may take longer, but I think
it's a better service to our community.  How will anyone know about the
high level of UCIMC involvement without such reports?

Frankly, it seems a little lazy just to repost a feature from another
IMC, unless it's some sort of major breaking news. 

At the very least, a compendium of coverage links is one way to go that
doesn't require so much effort and provides the same, if not better
service.

given that several folks from our IMC were involved in creating the "be
the media" conference (which is featured in the article) and there are
_a
lot_ of folks who are interested in hearing about how both conferences
went, i think it's a great feature.  i agree that it would be even
better
to have a locally written story, but i haven't seen any to feature.

It's a fine article, but why are we featuring the post entitled "Media
Reform- White Men In Suits? The Case For Building Our Own Media?" It's a
repost from Arkansas IMC, where they have it featured already. I'm fine
with a reposting, but not so OK with featuring it.

I'd much rather prefer one of the 10+ local folks who went to Madison
write something for a feature.=20
