Community Media: A Full Spectrum Future

On February 9, the New America Foundation hosted an event about the new report "Full Spectrum Community Media: Expanding Public Access to Communications Infrastructure".  Key areas of interest discussed amongst the panelists were the core features of community produced media – content, training, space, and access to information distribution – and the ability of community based media to fill gaps left by other broadcasters in serving local interests.  Focus was given to the adaptability of community media in serving their surrounding areas with local news and other services (such as media training and literacy) that helped to address and solve community problems.
