‘Workshop is a productive space in which people deal face-to-face with issues of authority’ (Richard Sennett, The Crafstman, p.54). For me now the main workshop is The New School itself. That is the place where workshop ‘balances tacit and explicit knowledge’ (Richard Sennett, The Crafstman, p.78). I am going to make use of classes, libraries and other resources the school offers. For example, this semester I’m taking a class Immediacy: Creating an On-line Journal where each of the students actively participates in the creation of Web-journal both in editing and design. So, I am coming closer to the area of my interest (which is web-media).  

The next step of the workshop will be internship (which applying Sennett can be called ‘apprentice’s issue’). New York City offers plenty of opportunities in this area. 

But the most important resource is “who you know resource”, or applying Sennett “face-to-face sharing the information”. The New School gives us vast opportunities – professors who can advice what courses to take or direct in proper direction with our projects, fellow students sharing similar interests, professionals invited on conferences or other events etc. 

As for the project I would like to develop through this class, I think that would be some research on Web-radio and TV, their peculiarities and main differences with regular radio and TV.
