A Healthy Digital Ecology: Creating a Community Vision for Federal Internet Funding

The federal government is spending billions on media education and Internet expansion as part of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act. In this workshop, we’ll share our experiences and hopes for the Internet, case-study multiple strategies for Recovery Act funding in both rural and urban settings, and break into small groups to incubate new strategies for media and arts leaders to use locally. We’ll emerge with specific local plans and a more coordinated national strategy.
