Educating Creators
The discussion about providing underserved communities with “digital literacy” skills is too often limited to the skills people will need to be better media consumers.

House Rejects Amendment to Further Cut NEA
From Americans for the Arts:
The Walberg amendment to H.R. 2584, the House Interior Appropriations bill that would have cut an additional $10.6 million from the National Endowment for the Arts failed 240-181 earlier today. All 185 Democrats present voted against the amendment and 55 Republicans joined them.
