The Community Media Workshop (www.newstips.org) has just released a free beta-version of its Chicago Ethnic Media Directory online. This useful directory, which includes basic audience and contact information for more than 200 Chicago-area ethnic media outlets, is accessible by registering here: http://www.newstips.org/interior.php?section=Resources&main_id=889. This is the first organized, comprehensive ethnic media-exclusive media directory for the Chicago-area.
CMW's directory is just one useful tool the organization has generated as part of an MF-funded ethnic media initiative. They are also conducing research on the needs of the sector, along with hosting various meetings and trainings for ethnic media.
