This October, we invite you to celebrate and support local community media.

As we approach National Community Media Day on October 20, we at Broadcast Pix take this opportunity to reflect on the vital role community media plays in fostering free speech and inclusivity in the media landscape. This annual celebration highlights the importance of accessible media for everyone and underscores our commitment to supporting local voices.

What is Community Media?

Community media serves as a platform for diverse community members—ranging from producers and journalists to schools, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies—to share their stories and local news. It empowers individuals and groups to make their voices heard, ensuring that a wide array of perspectives is represented in the media.

The Benefits of Community Media

• Empowers Free Speech: Community media gives local voices the chance to tell stories often overlooked by mainstream outlets.
• Encourages Community Involvement: It provides a space for residents to discuss and challenge local issues, fostering a sense of community engagement.
• Government Meeting Coverage: Community media platforms enable residents to watch their elected officials in action, promoting transparency and civic participation during government meetings and elections.
• Collaborative Learning: These platforms offer training and educational opportunities for citizens and students, helping them develop new skills in media production.
