email discuss Posted by Ann Williams on Jun 13, 2008 at 12:16 PM
Beyond Broadcast’s stellar line-up of participatory public media demonstrations will include a community media hub – a showcase of community, independent and ethnic media maps, resources and interactive experiments.
Many maps of community media are straightforward in that they primarily show where community media stations, makers or organizations are located. Mapping Access, an online directory of over 200 cable access television stations in 28 states, uses a Google map to help users quickly find the location, contact and affiliation information for their local PEG (public, educational, government) station.
Prometheus Radio is a non-profit organization that seeks to build a strong community of low-power FM (LPFM) stations and listeners. The Prometheus Radio site features a map that shows full- and low-power stations and translators in the U.S. pete tridish, Prometheus’ Director of Electromagnetism, will join us at the hub to talk about governance issues in community radio and how communities can become more involved in the FCC regulatory process.
New York Community Media Alliance (NYCMA) is an association of ethnic and community publications that provides technical assistance, training, networking opportunities and advocacy for its members. NYCMA’s recently-developed map shows the locations of ethnic and community publishers in New York’s five boroughs. An interactive version of their map is linked here.
The community media hub will also feature resources and publications from DCTV/Public Access Channel of Washington, DC, Funding Exchange, Center for International Media Action, Media Giraffe, Appalshop, Reclaim the Media, and many, many more!
There are still a few seats left for Beyond Broadcast. Registration is set to close Monday, June 16 at noon; register now!
