I had my interview for KALW’s Crosscurrent’s show yesterday on the Honduran Coup graphic history, the role of comics in the news and how new media can help foster grass-roots activism. It’ll be broadcast next Weds (the 18th) at 5pm Pacific, giving listeners enough time to get indignant about the Honduran election that’s slated to go ahead on the 29th. Whilst there, Holly Kernan, the News Director, told me about a new online project to encourage community-sponsored journalism, spot.us. It’s a fantastic site, only a year old, that allows journalists to pitch a story to the public in order to secure funding through micro-payments. Sadly it’s limited to local news coverage at the moment, so no ties to Honduras, but I have a number of other pitches on the back burner.
I’ve also had emails about difficulties with sharing specific comics via email – as opposed to sending the link to the gallery page, so here’s an experiment: I’ll post the Diego Garcia comic as a gallery post below and you should be able to share it around by clicking the twitter/fbook/digg etc tabs below. Let me know if it works. Honduran follow-up is 2/3 done! Keep coming back for updates and I’ll let you know when the ink’s dry on the last page.
