• Welcome to the Media Factory

 

Your Home For Community Media

The Media Factory provides our community with free access to media production gear, training, and local distribution on our cable channels and radio station. Our facility houses a state-of-the-art media education classroom, a low power FM radio station (99.3 WBTV-LP), a server room (in partnership with CCTV/Town Meeting Television), and a multi-camera recording studio.
 

Our Vision and Values

We work tirelessly to advance free and open media, civic engagement and government transparency so that our communities are informed, connected and resilient. These values guide our collective efforts at the Media Factory:

Community Engagement The Media Factory will foster engagement in the community to engender more active participation in the public discourse, with an emphasis on the local community. 

Diversity of Voices The Media Factory will encourage the participation of a diverse spectrum of the community, embracing a broad palette of ideas and perspectives without discrimination. 

Free Speech The Media Factory will provide channels that serve as a platform for the free exchange of ideas and public dialogue, without censoring unpopular or controversial perspectives. 

Teaching & Learning The Media Factory will be a place where learning happens, open to educators and learners of all ages, types, abilities, and skill levels.
