2023 Alliance for Community Media Conference Recap

July 18, 2023

What a trip! Several members of the CCTV & Town Meeting TV crew had the opportunity to travel to Brooklyn, NY for the 2023 National Alliance for Community Media conference. It was a great chance to connect with community media professionals from across the country and share ideas about how to make our community media centers stronger.

 

We learned a lot about the latest trends in community media, and we met some amazing people who are doing inspiring work in their communities. We also had the chance to see some amazing presentations and workshops. One of the most thought-provoking concepts we discussed was the use of Artificial Intelligence in community media, as well as the idea that AI is an extension of media literacy!

 

Other highlights include: Touring BronxNet's new studio facility, attending the Hometown Media Awards ceremony, and exploring Brooklyn!

 

We are so grateful for the opportunity to have attended the conference, and we are excited to bring back the knowledge and inspiration we gained to Town Meeting TV! We believe that community media is essential for a healthy democracy, and we are committed to using our platform to make our community a better place.
