American journalism is in trouble, and the crisis has hit home with the recent closing of Seattle's oldest newspaper. But rising from the ashes comes a phoenix of innovative new media -- a movement of news makers that challenge old models, dissolve barriers between audience and outlet and reassert humanitarian values in reporting. Come be a part of Seattle's next generation of journalism and support the media that matters to you.
We are cooking up a great fundraiser for this summer: delicious food, beautiful waterfront location, and amazing auction items from a luxurious night at the Tulalip Resort to a genuine Seattle P-I newspaper box!
Join us Thursday, July 23rd at 6 pm at Seattle's Lake Union Yacht Club. We'll share some of our most interesting stories from the Pakistan: Hearts and Minds project, and offer a special screening of our recent short documentary chronicling the last days of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, It's in the P-I. And of course it wouldn't be a CLP fundraiser without music, food, and booze!
The Journalism Hustle: Supporting Multimedia that Matters will raise funds to help support the Common Language Project's efforts to keep bringing you important underreported news from around the world - and to bring that journalism into classrooms across the country.
Show your support and buy your tickets today! Your all-inclusive ticket is $60.00 advance or $70.00 at the door.
