    In May, I graduated from the University of Massachusetts Amherst with a journalism degree and a mountain of student loan debt. My roommates and I are careful about sticking to a budget — and every month we’re left wondering why our cable bill is so high.

    You don’t know what I do on the Internet. Because I am really good at privacy. I have expertly set my Facebook settings. People come to me for advice on these matters. Strangers cannot mess with me.

    The government is spying on you. In fact, the National Security Agency may be reading this very blog post. So the Free Press Action Fund has teamed up with Mozilla, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Access, Demand Progress, Fight for the Future and other groups to launch StopWatching.Us — a call for Congress to investigate the NSA’s privacy-killing surveillance schemes.

    If you’re like me, you stayed up until the wee hours at our rocking Shake Your Media Maker Dance Party. (New definition for awesome: Hank Shocklee.) So maybe you’re feeling a little bleary-eyed this morning — but don’t even think about laying low.

    Where can you get Sundance-worthy films without having to wade through the celebrities and celebrity entourages who take over that once-humble film festival every January?

    At the National Conference for Media Reform Film Festival, of course!

    In fact, our film festival includes two Sundance winners — Middle of Nowhere and Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry — and you won’t have to elbow aside Harvey Weinstein to get into the screenings.
