Print Media: Evolve or Perish

Presented and facilitated by Jen Angel and Max Sussman

Disaster has befallen the independent print media community. How are we going to survive the rapidly changing environment in which we operate? How can print projects remain relevant, accountable, effective, and sustainable in today's climate? The recent collapse of several important radical print institutions and the recent US postal rate increase are just a few reflections of the challenges faced by radical print media today.

This caucus meeting will be a place to discuss current trends in magazine and newspaper publishing and will be a place to share ideas on how to creatively respond. This facilitated discussion will be an opportunity for print media makers to share experiences and reflect on common challenges faced by independent print media projects.

Participants at this caucus meeting will be expected to come prepared to discuss/present on their organizations' specific strengths and weaknesses.

Some topics to brainstorm on:
-practices your organization has that help strengthen and sustain your publication
-things you would have done differently/learning from experience
-what have you learned that you can share with others

RSVP highly recommended to maxsussman (AT) gmail.com.
