[Peace-discuss] local folks on Media Matters

[Sandra Ahten]

Bob McChesney's "Media Matters" which airs on local public radio station 
WILL (580AM) Sunday at 1pm will feature a discussion about community radio 
and independent media.
Paul Riismandel, Mike Lehman and I are guests. It was taped a last week and 
I thought it was a really interesting show. Hope you can catch it.

This week on Media Matters we are joined by three local community
radio activists:

Sandra Ahten has been a producer of IMC Radio News for over 3 years.
Currently she also serves as a coordinator who recruits and trains
journalists in addition to writing and producing news. Her community
radio experiences also include producing an hour-long radio
documentary on the death penalty and a seven-year involvement with
WEFT where she was a member of the Programming Committee, served as a
Public Service Announcement Coordinator, hosted a music show, and was
a host of the WEFT Courier.

doctorate in history at UIUC. He is a founding member of the Urbana-
