community media day
Community Media Day is an annual celebration that brings awareness to the importance of free speech and accessible media for all.
THE IMPORTANCE OF
COMMUNITY MEDIA
Free Speech. Diverse Voices.
Community media provides a platform for individuals and groups to share their stories, and access to local information and news that may not be covered by larger, mainstream media outlets.
Local Dialogue. Gavel-to-Gavel Coverage.
Community media provides a forum for community members to discuss local issues and watch their elected officials at work, helping to promote and foster civic engagement and government transparency.
Learn. Create. Collaborate.
Community media centers provide media training and educational opportunities in a collaborative setting so that everyone, no matter their skill level, can develop the skills and experience they need to contribute to the media landscape and have their message heard.
