Pre-Election Radio Call-in Workshop
Recently the GPUS Outreach Committee held a Pre-Election Radio Call-in Workshop.
This was the first of a series of Skill-Building Workshops by Outreach to further enable Greens to further the Green Message.
These Skills Workshops are the brainchildren of Outreach Committee member Morgen D’Arc of Maine who wanted the OC to work on a way to help Greens practice and learn to better participate in the use of traditional and new media.
Let’s take a look at messages and topics that can spread information over the airwaves to energized call-in show listeners eager for REAL changes that are not being offered by mainstream (corporate) media or mainstream (corporate) candidates. While many call-in shows have been used recently to spread stereotypes, innuendo and division, some of them purporting to be “progressive”can be a useful venue, for they are some of the few public places where ideas are still being aired and opinions being sought.
Date of next workshop: Tuesday Oct. 28, time: TBA; invitations with call-in number will be sent out. For further info, write: outreach@gp.org
