For over thirty years, the Alliance
for Community Media has educated and advocated on behalf of community media. Thousands
of groups and over a million volunteer producers, directors, presenters, and
technical staff participate in Public, Educational, Governmental (PEG) access
production annually. These professionals and volunteers producer more than
20,000 hours of new local programming each week. That's more than NBC, CBS, ABC,
FOX and PBS combined. The Alliance for Community Media is committed to ensuring
access to electronic media for all people regardless of race, creed, political
or religious beliefs, life circumstances or ability to pay. The Alliance works
to inform the public about the importance of media access through peer
professional training and community activist networking. The Alliance provides
support for individuals and organizations involved in community media through
its national and regional conferences, website and listservs, quarterly journal,
member newsletters, publications, video tapes, legislative and legal assistance.
When you become a member of the Alliance for
Community Media you become part of a powerful voice that is increasingly being
heard at the local, state and federal levels.
Join the Alliance today, and be an active
participant in community media!
In order for democracy to flourish, people must
be active participants in their government, educated to think critically and
free to express themselves. The mission of the Alliance for Community Media is
to advance democratic ideals by ensuring that people have access to electonic
media and by promoting effective communication through community uses of media.
The Alliance for Community Media is a national,
non-profit membership organization. Founded in 1976 as the National Federation
of Local Cable Programmers, the Alliance represents the interests of community,
religious, charitable groups and individuals who use Public, Educational,
Government (PEG) access cable television channels and facilities to speak to
their communities.
The Alliance for Community Media promotes
political, regulatory and industry support for PEG access through its government
and public relations programs, listservs and grassroots organizing; facilitates
networking and education among people and organizations involved with community
media through its national and regional conferences, and various special
interest groups; supports community advocates with research and information on
community programming and national policy issues; and monitors developments in
telecommunications applications and advocates for the public's access to
emerging media systems.
Be a part of the only national organization that
truly represents the interests of community media and has a readily mobilized
constituency. Join the Alliance today! It doesn't cost, it pays!
