Cohousing-L Mailing List: Lehrer New Hour piece on Cohousing

[Diana Porter (porterd]

I am surprised that no one has responded to the video portrait of 
cohousing on the Lehrer News Hour on the 23rd.  What did people think of 
it?  

I thought it was a sympathetic piece and helped to make cohousing a 
"household word" with the public television crowd.  There were several 
shots of adults and children of color but it tended to focus on parents 
with children so that the true diversity that makes up many communities 
wasn't highlighted.  This said, it was very positive and hopefully made 
some of the audience long for more community.  Any suggestions as to how 
local groups could follow up with public television to get publicity for 
cohousing groups forming in their television area?

Cincinnati Ecovillage is holding a New Year's Day brunch gathering from 
12-3 and then showing "The Next industrial Revolution" at 3:00.  If 
anyone on the ListServe is in the area, please come join us.  Check our
