There's Still Time

Where do you get to catch up with Lisa Jervis, co-founder of Bitch, catch a keynote address from columnist Ellen Goodman, and get a primer on how to create your own feminist publication from Rita Henley Jensen of Women's eNews?

It's all at the Women, Action and the Media conference. This year promises to be better than ever, with a pre-conference lineup of sessions ranging from citizen journalism to how to sell a great book proposal without selling out. Plus, there will be an evening event commemorating Molly Ivins and you get to rub shoulders with all your fave feminist writers and media types in one place. Including me! There really is still time to register, but you have to hurry. The conference is over the last weekend of March in Cambridge, MA.

I can't think of any forums like this anywhere else. Women who are on the ground and every day rebutting the larger media stereotypes that are the lazy crutch of mainstream news. Like Jen Pozner, who started her own mini-media empire, Women in Media and News. Or Jessica Valenti from Feministing, who raises feminist hell with her site.

I will be blogging from the conference, so if you can't make it, you won't miss out. But you will miss it.
