Dear Colleagues:

I am a communications professor at Ithaca College who will be teaching courses
 on the
University of Pittsburgh's Semester-At-Sea program during the Spring, 1996
 semester.
One of the courses I will be teaching is called "Alternative Media," which is
 designed
for upper-division students. The course examines media which lay outside the
mainstream, those which are parts of political, cultural and/or social
 movements, and
which reflect the desire by peoples to create more "bottom-up" or grassroots
approaches to communication.

I would like to make contacts with people who are active with such media in the
 places
we will be visiting, so that I could come with my students to see what varieties
 of
media and media activism are operating. Our itinerary is:

La Guiara and Caracas, Venezuela (February)
Salvador, Brazil (February)
Cape Town, South Africa (February-March)
Mombasa, Kenya (March)
Madras, India (March)
Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam (March-April)
Manila, Philippines (April)
Hong Kong (April)
Kobe, Japan (May)

If you are involved with such media in these places, or you know people who are,
please get in touch with me at your earliest convenience. We leave on 3
 February.
Thank you.
