NUJ New Media

Non 'Yahoo!' Mailing lists

For members interested in starting a mailing list or discussion group that does not involve Yahoo!, the union's New Media Industrial Council has come up with the following list of lists.
It's worth noting that many NUJ freelances use GreenNet at a cost of £25 to set up and £60 annually (plus VAT), while NMIC itself uses two lists - the open list operated by NUJ Bristol at a similar cost (join at http://lists.bristolnuj.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/nujnewmedia ) and the closed one operated by NUJ Manchester (contact gherman at KeywordsAssociates.com for more info).
