It is important for our society to continue to speak up and share our opinions. One can think they are in the minority because they don't share their opinion, but in reality they can be the silent majority.
Community Television was created to make sure all of us have a voice, whether in the majority or the minority. Community used to mean the people physically near us. With the advent of the Internet and blogging community can mean anyone who shares a similar interest.
Community TV can still be a way to communicate with our peers. Not everyone has access to the Internet but may be able to watch cable television. At access centers like SPNN we help you get your message out on both cable TV and the Internet.
If you are attending an event that you later want to post about on your own blog, you could add video to make your blog pop. If you belonged to an access center, became certified on the equipment, you could check out cameras cover the event, and edit the footage to put both on the web and on TV. What better way to share information about our community?
SPNN not only offers classes on using video gear, we also teach members how to compress their video to put it on the web. If you are worried about bandwidth to store the video there are places that will host for free. OurMedia.org is a great place to be able see what others have and store your own videos.
