```
Date: Mon, 12 Dec 1994 13:32:52 -0800
From: email list server
The DIAC conference this spring featured broad participation by representatives from the public access cable television community. Now the Internet community has the opportunity to reciprocate by participating in the annual conference of the Alliance for Community Media, the national association of public access stations. The Alliance's call for workshop proposals is attached below. On behalf of Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility (CPSR) and the Telecommunications Policy Roundtable of the Northeast (TPR-NE), I urge everyone to take advantage of this opportunity to promote the convergence of public interest digital and video media. This conference could be THE historical event that builds the bridges between groups in computers and television. Don't miss it -- submit a workshop proposal today!

Alliance for Community Media International Conference and Trade Show
---
July 5 - 8, 1995 Boston, Massachusetts INVITATION TO SUBMIT PROPOSALS FOR WORKSHOPS The Alliance for Community Media invites you to submit proposals for workshops for next year's annual international conference. Proposals may be for panel or roundtable discussions, debates, discussion papers, performances, participatory exercises, or other presentations in appropriate formats. As computer, telephone and television technologies converge, cable access offers models for democratic participation. Now is the time to help shape the new communications context, to ensure community input, media literacy, and attention to public needs. Now is the time to increase dialogue, visibility and participation in the crafting of future telecommunications policy. The four-day annual conference brings together people from across the US and the world who work to ensure community access to telecommunications, including staff of cable access, media arts, and community computing centers; public officials responsible for telecommunications policy and regulation; communications lawyers; video producers and exhibitors, activists, educators, and students. The Alliance actively builds coalitions with organizations that share a mission to open and preserve free access to telecommunications and media for the diverse voices that contribute to a creative society and a healthy democracy. Please submit workshop proposals in the following areas, or suggest additional topics.
