Forum on civic engagement highlights

Forum for Engagement live at 6 p.m. Thursday

(Editor's note: This post is a completely lazy copy-and-paste job from a previous post. But now it includes a live feed and chat)

A small group of area activists, politicians and journalists (and yours truly, for some reason) will gather in Kingston on July 14 with the goal of creating a vibrant community through "A Forum for Engagement," an event which aims to focus on turning vision into action.

I'll be representing THE EVIL MAINSTREAM MEDIA OF DOOM AND DESPAIR AND DECADENCE and will try, with the rest of the group, to find a way for you to easily participate with matters that, uh, matter to you. In short, my role will be, with your help, to figure out ways for us at the Freeman to collaborate and improve our coverage of issues that are important to you. I'll also be adding some needed DOOM AND DESPAIR AND DECADENCE, because that's how I roll.


The forum takes place from 6 to 9 p.m. on July 14 at Stella May Gallery Theatre, 5 Sterling Street, Kingston.

Community Media Lab: Freedom of Information class

The Freeman's sister paper, The Register Citizen in Torrington, Conn., is offering a free Freedom of Information class at 11 a.m. today. The free class is free, in case I hadn't mentioned the free-ness of the free class previously. Free.

You can watch the class and participate in the chat below.
