As part of the 2005 National Conference for Media Reform, Chicago Media Action helped convene one of the conference's action clinics -- a training session dedicated to a particular skill or strategy. The action clinic CMA was involved in was themed to media monitoring and made use of CMA's 2004 study of Chicago's WTTW 11. The event was packed to overflowing and audio from the workshop is available online here.
