Austin Airwaves is preparing for the
*Grassroots Radio Conference*
to be (virtually) held in Louisville *October 9-11*.
http://virtualgrc.org/

As you can see from the attached, we are looking for *radio**
**reporters* (social media will do...) that have recent experience covering
local demos/riots. The target audience is young, amateur radio
reporters. Media activist-types. Looking for 5-8 minute stories/
interviews and 2-4 minute news clips that will serve as lessons
for the young reporters and activists.

Can you give me a name or two of anybody I might contact?
Text is good. Jim Ellinger 512-796-4332
