Mike Wassenar from St. Paul Neighborhood Network told The UpTake’s Sam Mayfield at the National Conference for Media Reform in Boston last weekend that he’s here because NCMR is an intersection of people doing work on government policy funding initiatives, practitioners doing education work in local communities, media practitioners, storytellers, people working on diversity issues, and activists. “People who care deeply about making sure that media is more responsive, more reflective of life in our communities,” Wassenar summarized.”
“All sorts of interesting work going on. A lot of it is hidden, because it’s done either in the nonprofit sector, or it’s done in the government sector and there’s not necessarily a PR agency that’s trying to promote that work.”
