Today is Community Media Day 2024!
Community Media Day is an annual celebration that brings awareness to the importance of free speech and accessible media for all.
Each year on October 20, the Massachusetts governor issues a proclamation officially declaring the day to be Community Media Day in Massachusetts. This year, though, Governor Maura Healey went a step further and created a video message highlighting the importance of community media centers in Massachusetts and beyond.
NewTV was proud to play Governor Healey's message at the MassAccess Fall Meet & Greet hosted at our studio in Newton. A representative from the governor's office presented the official proclamation to Katie Duval, MassAccess Vice President and Executive Director of Medfield TV.
Community media plays a powerful role in strengthening our local communities. It protects our freedom of speech, promotes transparency within our local governments, provides access to local news and information not covered by mainstream media outlets, and fosters community education and engagement.
For more than 30 years, NewTV has proudly provided Newton with a platform where everyone can have their voices heard and stay connected to their community.
