Why This Site Was Created
Since 1989 Community Media Workshop has worked to bring local voices and news into the mainstream media. Democracy depends upon freedom of expression and a plurality of voices. We believe that not only do all have the right to be heard—guaranteed here by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution—but all should have an equal opportunity to shape public debate. We believe that diversifying the voices in public debate leads to a dialogue that portrays society more fully and accurately, and such diversity in turn enriches democracy. This site was created for both practical purposes for our organization to extend our mission into the new capabilities of the social web, but more importantly provide a space online for grassroots leadership, journalists and nonprofit communicators to keep informed about local news, acquire helpful tips and resources, and to participate in developing a community online that promotes the work we all do on the ground. We hope you find this special spot on the web helpful and welcome your feedback on how we can continue to improve its functionality and its content.
