Actor, filmmaker, and activist John Cusack, founding member of The Freedom of the #Press Foundation:

"Democracy and the free press are under a grave, existential threat. — Paywalls shouldn’t stand in the way of accessing vital public records. - If citizens can't get access to facts and truth, democracy doesn't stand a chance."

🎙️ From #Newsroom to Lens: Robin N. Hamilton’s Journey Through Documentary Filmmaking and Social Activism

Hey everyone, Marco here. You know I’m all about storytelling—the way it connects us, challenges perspectives, and shapes the world around us. This time on Audio Signals Podcast - on ITSPmagazine, I had the privilege of sitting down with Robin Hamilton, an #Emmy-winning #journalist turned #filmmaker who has dedicated her craft to shedding light on untold stories and driving meaningful change.

Robin’s journey is fascinating—starting in fast-paced newsrooms and evolving into documentary filmmaking, where she takes the time to explore complex narratives with depth and impact. Her films highlight figures like #FannieLouHamer, whose fight for #votingrights still echoes today, and #OdessaMadre, a woman whose legacy challenges our perceptions of power, crime, and opportunity.

In this episode, we dig into how Robin chooses her subjects, crafts her stories, and balances activism with artistry. We talk about the power of independent filmmaking, the responsibility of shaping narratives that matter, and why stories—when told right—can change the way we see history, society, and ourselves.

If you’re passionate about storytelling, filmmaking, or social impact, this conversation is for you.

Join us as we explore the intersection of journalism, documentaries, and the stories that need to be told.

I do hope these newly disenfranchised #journalists and #newsroom folks realize using #peertube avoids bandwidth costs if your feed becomes popular (which it would because no one else is doing it) — once you produce video, distribution is shared by the viewers. It's not like streaming. You could use a laptop to livestream! Or your phone.

Also maybe check out the gamers on twitch to see what is possible with free open source production tools etc done on average gaming hardware.

Just a thought 😅

Reflections and inspiration from our #AGU24 Town Hall about the future of #CriticalZone #science.

"In concluding remarks, participants reiterated that to ensure a bright future for Critical Zone Science, the community needs robust collaboration and a broad, systems-thinking approach. Simple guidelines emerged: step beyond your discipline, link processes across the Earth’s surface, and foster partnerships that bring in new perspectives—be they from across the hallway or across the globe."
