Artist talk about "Media Nodes" by photographer Sean Hemmerle recorded in the Underground Gallery at The Sanctuary for Independent Media in Troy, NY on Saturday, November 5, 2011. Award-winning photographer Sean Hemmerle, in collaboration with the Columbia Journalism Review, took his camera into newsrooms around the country. "People throw around this word all the time, mostly disparagingly: &aposoh, the media,&apos and &aposmedia spin," he says. "That made me think: who is the media? And what about the media? I wanted to put a face on these media nodes, the places where news is &aposmade.&apos" www.seanhemmerle.com www.mediasanctuary.org
