Item Description

Want to hate-watch your favorite awful TV show with the author of Reality Bites Back? Think it would be fun to enact your own live-action MST3K-style snarkfest at a movie of your choice with a feminist media critic and comedy nerd? Or, just want to talk media literacy or social media strategy in person over coffee, or via Skype, with the founder/Executive Director of Women In Media & News? Then bid on two hours of media-related chit-chat with Jenn Pozner, to be spent in a mutually agreeable fashion -- assuming as Jenn always says on Twitter: #NoCreepers. 

Jennifer L. Pozner is a media critic, journalist, and founder/Executive Director of Women In Media & News, a media analysis, education and advocacy group. She is the author of Reality Bites Back: The Troubling Truth About Guilty Pleasure TV, which MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry called "required reading for every American girl and woman," and which Colbert Report writer Cecelia Lederer called an "insightful...funny, fun read."  Jenn also produced the satirical webisode series, "Reality Rehab with Dr. Jenn." Her work has appeared in the New York Times, Newsweek, Newsday, The Chicago Tribune, Ms., In These Times, Bitch: Feminist Response to Pop Culture, The Daily Beast, AlterNet, Salon and Women's Enews, among other news outlets. She has offered media analysis on NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, FOX, NPR, CBC, and Comedy Central's "The Daily Show." And, because she's a sucker for punishment, she has gone head to head with some of the most blustery boys of cable news, including Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Joe Scarbrough and Geraldo Rivera. She  regularly offers strategic communications media trainings for women-led social justice groups and activists, and has conducted media literacy lectures and workshops on gender, race, class and the media for more than 150 schools, conferences and businesses across the U.S., Canada, and Turkey. The New Leaders Council honored her as one of "40 Under 40" progressive leaders in America in 2009, and Forbes named @jennpozner one of "Twenty Inspiring Women to Follow on Twitter."
