Crude Awakening Austin
Come join us for our regular monthly get together to discuss the role of the MEDIA in addressing energy issues. We have invited several journalists from the Austin area to talk about the types of reporting that typically sees print, how editorial decisions are made regarding the subject selection and approach to the topics, when the media should and should not inject opinion or take sides on an issue, and how the community to help affect the media's treatment of energy issues.
Typically, we have a speaker at the beginning, followed by roundtable discussion in which all attendees are encouraged to participate. The last thirty minutes of each meeting (8:30-9) are used to conduct internal administration and business.
Crude Awakening Austin is a peak oil group dedicated to the study of fossil fuel consumption trends and how they affect contemporary citizens, and committed to exploring ways to mitigate the effects of living in an oil-dependent culture.
