Pulitzer
This site by the Pulitzer Prize folks
features a listing of the award winners and nominees. For recent winners, the
actual works (text, photos, etc.) are featured online. It’s a good site
if you would like to see what it takes to create a first-rate piece of journalism,
or if you simply want to review some of the most important journalism of our
time.
FIRE
Media Forum
FIRE is hosting a media forum for
nonprofit organizations on May 16 at ‘Jubilee!’
featuring top editors and reporters from local media.
Come out and network, and learn all about how to get
your cause into the news. For more information, see
our Media Forum page.
Rolling
Thunder
FIRE is collaborating with other WNC nonprofit organizations, media, businesses
and individuals to bring the Rolling Thunder Democracy Tour (RTD2) to the region
on May 3, 2003. “The Rolling Thunder Down-Home Democracy Tour reawakens
a great American tradition of asserting the power of regular people to fight
for their rights; throws in some enlightening education, soul-stirring music,
mouth-watering food and drink....” says the event’s local
website.
