Jason Loviglio Dr. Jason Loviglio, Hi my name is Jess Blumberg and I'm currently the associate editor at Baltimore magazine. I'm not sure if you have heard of the organization Ed2010 or not, but it's a group of magazine editors and editor-wannabes that was started in New York City. They have networking events, host panel discussions and generally offer help to those in the magazine industry. Currently, there are 20 chapters around the country, but not one in Baltimore. So I have decided to start one up. Right now I am putting the word out there that I will be hosting events for the magazine community in Baltimore. I wanted to let communications professors at UMBC know so they can pass the word along to their students. Please encourage them that anyone interested in a magazine editing career is welcome to attend. The events would be about once every 2-3 months at a bar or restaurant in town and the purpose would be to just get to know others in the magazine community and let aspiring editors get a chance to network. Please pass this along to your students and tell them to email me if they're interested. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me anytime. Thanks so much!

Jason Loviglio Two Jobs Available at the Prometheus Radio Project! The Prometheus Radio Project is hiring for two permanent full time jobs -- a Station Support Organizer and a Campaign Director. Please read the email below for short descriptions of our organization, of the jobs, and for details on what you'll need to send us to apply. Full job descriptions can be found on our website: http://www.prometheusradio.org. Send all materials to jobs @ prometheusradio.org with the appropriate job mentioned in the subject line. We suffered an email problem over the past month, and if you sent an application for the Campaign Director or another job to info (at) prometheusradio.org, we didn't receive it! Please resend your full application to jobs (at) prometheusradio.org -- if you haven't heard back from us, that's why. Our apologies! For instructions on unsubscribing from our email lists, please check the bottom of this email. The Prometheus Radio Project is a grassroots organization that works to expand and protect community radio stations, and to promote a more democratic and accountable media in the United States and around the world. From Black Panther-led community centers in Tanzania to farmworker groups in Oregon, we help groups build their own radio stations as tools for their vital social justice organizing. Every day, we advocate for these groups and their stations, help them organize with allies near and far for their rights, and work with them to keep their stations thriving and to help leaders teach new radio pioneers the skills needed to own your own media. We help community groups navigate the Federal Communications Commission and the radio licensing process, and we provide technical assistance to groups building radio stations. We also advocate in Congress and at the FCC to protect community radio, and we actively participate in the broader campaign for a better media. We are tireless in our fight to make community radio stations and other appropriate technologies available to every neighborhood, every city, every town that needs them. Campaign Director This person will communicate with the leaders of the media reform and media justice movement, with community radio stations, and with social movements working to build a just country and a just world. In concert with these people and groups, the Campaign Director will design and conduct campaigns to expand community media and keep corporate media accountable in the United States and around the world. From creating tools to help people file comments at the FCC, to executing legislative campaigns and organizing workshop tours, to working with the entire Prometheus collective to plan the strategic future of the organization and its role in community radio, this person will have an opportunity to lead strong and successful efforts to put media in the hands of communities who need it. As a part of a collective-run organization, this person will have the opportunity to help build systems which ensure the sustainability of the organization and the movement of which it is a part, and to participate in the shared political education of a very beautiful group of people. Responsibilities include: - Public speaking - Community and grassroots organizing in small groups and with large organizations - Building coalitions with the ability to win policy battles and gains for affected groups - Crafting communications for supporters, community media, and corporate media outlets - Representing Prometheus or community radio goals in local, national, and international coalitions - Leading and managing the time and tasks of designated volunteers and interns - Serving as a mentor/liason between interns, volunteers and staff Station Support Organizer This new position at Prometheus Radio Project will be responsible for maintaining the relationships with the thousands of people that contact Prometheus in their quest to build a radio station, and the hundreds of groups that rely on Prometheus for advice and connection to the community radio movement. You will also be responsible for outreach that will build community radio capacity in social justice movements. You will be the primary point of contact for people who seek support from our work -- demystifying technology and the political system so that community's can take back their airwaves! The Station Support Organizer will be responsible for maintaining reliable information usable by Community Radio stations to answer their legal, engineering, governance and related problems. Responsibilities include: - Managing incoming requests by integrating them into Prometheus' operation. This involves providing information in response to basic requests, connecting people with appropriate legislative and regulatory campaign leaders, and directing people to appropriate support among the Prometheus staff - Helping to strengthen the community radio movement by designing and managing outreach campaigns and organizing and promoting events that raise awareness and spread knowledge across the US on the power of participatory radio - Spearheading the creation of collaborative tools which low power and other participatory stations can use to share their knowledge and experience - Implementing methods to assess the needs of the communities we work with and make recommendations to Prometheus on we can better serve these communities - Helping Prometheus' sustainability by identifying potential candidates for our more in-depth engineering services and integrating stations and station hopefuls into our fundraising efforts; These jobs are based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and we cannot currently consider telecommuters. Prometheus is an egalitarian office, where all take part in decision-making and all full-time staff earn equal hourly pay. We currently pay eleven dollars per hour, up to 40 hours per week. The pay may increase in time if we are successful in fundraising. We offer full medical and dental coverage. Everyone takes a turn mopping the floor and taking out the trash. Hours are flexible; there are no clocks to punch, and there is no one breathing down your neck to manage your time. However, you are responsible for getting results and serving our goal of empowering social movements through ownership and control of community media outlets. This means we all work very hard and occasionally work long hours; especially during events and barnraisings, we engage in intense commitments for weeks at a time. Our office is located in West Philadelphia, in the community center basement of the Calvary Methodist Church. Be ready to smell delicious cooking, hear the shouts of children learning martial arts, people singing gospel, or holding a self-help meeting. Everyone from every kind of background is welcome to apply -- don't be shy! To apply, send a resume, cover letter, and two writing samples and references to: jobs (at) prometheusradio (dot) org Include "Campaign Director Job Applicant" or "Station Support Organizer Job Applicant " in the subject line. Deadline for all applications is now April 11th, though we will keep this call open until we feel we have found the right persons for the positions.
