 Extended hours at Denver Open Media during the DNC
The Colorado Independent Media Center, together with KGNU, DOM, and MicroBusiness Development, has announced its plans for media access and services before and during the 2008 Democratic National Convention.
The Colorado Independent Media Center will be establishing a computer lab for independent video and radio journalists in the MicroBusiness Development building at 700 Kalamath street, with space and computers donated by MicroBusiness Development and Community Computer Connection. From August 19th to August 30th, this facility will be open weekdays from 9:30am to 9:30pm and weekends from 11am-6pm.
In addition, KGNU and Denver Open Media will be coordinating special access to their video and radio resources for visiting independent media producers interested in covering the DNC, with live TV, Radio, and Internet broadcasts.
Denver Open Media will be broadcasting live from our studios from 5-9pm following each day of the convention, allowing any independent journalist to drop-in and share photos, video and audio recordings, and in-person accounts of the day, live on TV. DOM will also have production, editing, and uploading resources available from 1:30-9:30pm for members and independent producers covering the DNC. KGNU will be broadcasting live on the radio from 6-10pm, with drop-in interview slots open from 6-7pm daily.
In order to access these resources, independent journalists will need to register with the Colorado IMC at Free Speech TV, 2900 Welton Street Monday-Friday from 9am to 6pm or on-line at COIMC.org
