This is a one and a half, hour long video
This past summer, 13 college students have been sponsored by the newly launched Northwest Institute and have been addressing the issues of the environment, Iraq Veterans, and Homelessness just to name a few — plus they have been learning about the new opportunities presented for the media by technologies like YouTube, The Internet, and blogs.
Sponsored by former Portland Mercury co-founder and managing editor Phil Busse, the program teaches and inspires a new generation of independent journalists.
The event on Wednesday evening highlights and credits those students who are learning and applying "Media Activism"

I was interested in all these same topics and took it upon myself to come down and film their presentation.
And I am glad I did.
There were books randomly placed on the tables and I filmed as many of the titles as possible - they all were on "The Media" and looked pretty interesting

Peace!
