Before UCIMC started using Drupal, it was easy to find stories published here through google searches. Within a day or 2, stories could be found by their title, and could eventually be found as the result of searches for their content.

The Urbana-Champaign Independent Media Center (UCIMC) is seeking applicants for two full time positions in Outreach/Development and Media Training for July 2008-July 2009.

----> Contact the UCIMC by April 24th with your interest: finance@ucimc.org.

This interesting post comes via the Stubblefield LPFM list and is written by Hannah Sassaman. The good work that the Indymedia network does has worldwide reach.

I wanted to point people at Nancy Scola's great post at

Hey All,

WEFT, 90.1 FM, Champaign, Illinois made a generous donation of thousands of CDs culled from the WEFT music library to WRFU-LP, 104.5FM. Community radio in Central Illinois continues to benefit from the cooperative and helpful relationship that saw numerous WEFTies volunteer as part of the crew that helped place WRFU on the air nearly two years ago.

As a few of you may know, the WRFU music library up to this point consisted of about 200 CDs. For most of our programs, this means that the volunteers have to provide their own music. While this adds to the eclectic variety of programming available on Radio Free Urbana, it also discourages many of our volunteers by limiting what they play to what they have available.
