Rogue Independent Media Week

The Rogue Valley Independent Media Center is sponsoring its Second Annual Independent Media Week. In April 2005, the City of Ashland officially proclaimed its first Independent Media Week. Last year's headline speaker at the event was Amy Goodman of “Democracy Now”. Indy Media Week 2005 showcased Rogue Valley efforts to expand independent media and focused on local grassroot campaigns to broadcast “Democracy Now” and launch KSKQ, our local low-power FM radio station. The Rogue Independent Media Center has asked the City of Ashland to proclaim April 16--22, 2006 Independent Media Week and we are working to put this proclamation on the City Council agenda for early April. Once again, KSKQ <http://www.kskq.org> and the Committee for Democracy Now volunteers have joined forces with the Rogue Independent Media Center to organize the week's activities, and is inviting participation and attendance from all interested citizens and community organizations.
