Zimmermann will write monthly columns about debates, dialogues, and developments in international public media, across its analog, digital and emerging forms.

Zimmermann's ongoing blog for FLEFF, Open Spaces, will serve as the incubator for stories and writing for NAMAC.  The Open Spaces blog features stories, essays, profiles, interviews, research, and musings on openings, closings, and thresholds of analog, digital and emerging international public media.
