hi webcasters,

seems that different media are breeding their own segregation! i did get NO replies from this channel (sorry, one reply!). is the good old print medium not worthy any contributions concerning the hip and challenging field of webcasting? is there nothing to say or hope for in the field of webcasting?

get down to it and send me some stuff... demands, statements, news, programmes, observations, manifestos, the whole lot! the dead line is this weekend! so put the microphone down for a few minutes and put your hands on the keyboard...

ALSO: still looking for addresses to send some hardcopies to. Crash Media will be free and will be mailed out to interested and interesting people! if you want some copies, if you know a location or insitution that might be interested in having some, please send me the postal address.

all the best and hope to hear from you soon,

micz

IN BRIEF

Crash Media's first print issue will be released in the 
middle of March. The list of articles above is poor fiction 
and could be easily improved with your help. We are looking 
for contributions in the form of text (opinionated 
journalism, realism, spielism, fiction, scribblism), visual 
material (faxed, scanned and finger-painted, posted and 
pixellated, draw'n'dropped), cartoons, tricks, tips and DIY 
handbooks. We are looking for the ten commandments of 
communication war, the tip of the manifesto iceberg, the 
unwell and unfair state, wormholes in the new economy, 
sound systems for virtual communities, street scouting, and 
media travellers.

Deadline for all material is the 20th February '98. We 
favour text within the 500 to 800 word limit - and we envy 
the capacity to make a strong point with 200 words! Scans 
should be 300dpi and stuffed, send as attachments (MAC or 
PC) - stamp-based mail is just as good. Currently we are 
not able to pay contributors. Every contributor will 
receive ten copies of Crash Media.

              -------====###====-------
