Upcoming

I wanted to post an update here, since my first post a few weeks ago. I hope that you’ll stay with us here at Community Media in Transition. This is an exciting project - one that I do not believe exists in quite the same way.

Let me explain:

The current plan for this project is to conduct interviews - I’d prefer to call them conversations - with a number of innovative public access producers and access workers who are using new media distribution and open source technologies (see more on the about page).

I am looking forward to speaking with a number of folks doing some exciting work in this space: including Jason Crow from CCTV, Media Policy Blog (and other projects), Ben Sheldon of Mapping Access, Producer’s Forum, and the CTC Vista Project, and Jason Daniels from LTC, Digital Bicycle, and the 100 Second Film Festival.

Mapping Access has quickly become a wonderful resource for this project. Through the site, I’ve been able to find a number of innovative access centers across the country using new media and open source technologies to engage their producers, members, and their communities.

On this blog you will find a number of my conversations, both audio and video podcasts, with these and other folks. I hope you will join us to participate here in the discussion.
