An Inside Perspective on the Student Intern Experience

December 13, 2022
As the school semester closes and we reflect as a community on the outcomes of the 2022 general election, myself and my fellow student interns are feeling energized and inspired by our experience at CCTV. It feels like just yesterday when we stepped into the studio for the first time. We were in awe of the vast archive closet, thrilled by the astonishing collection of equipment, and eager to work alongside the crew. Weeks later, we are proud to have used CCTV’s plentiful resources to share democracy with our fellow students and with the entire community of Burlington.

Community Media: A Historical Practice and Modern Day Tool

November 17, 2022
Although “media” is associated with technology, the internet, and the “now”, community media began when the first ever communities existed. In other words, community media has a rich history that dates far and wide to before the conventional assumption of “media” was ever adopted. It is an ever-changing and evolving practice that is truly integral to society and democracy. With the help of community media, communities of all types, sizes, and demographics can have access to democracy and contribute their own voice to society. While this is true, the visual aspect of media with the help of videography, imagery, and technology in general can really amplify a story. Today we have the privilege of sharing stories visually, making them even more special. With that, CCTV will continue to use communicative tools like podcasts, videos, and social media to share and encourage democracy throughout the community.
