"building the capacity of public media and technology organizations"
It is Friday afternoon, and I am about to conclude my first *official* week as a CTC*VISTA at Cambridge Community Television. To sum it up: I feel like I have been given the key to a secret door that leads to the land of 21st-century innovation.
It's recently come to my attention that I have disappeared from the face of the vista planet. So I have a small update.
Since March, this is what I have been doing at BNN:
- Taking inventory on new equipment
- Going and presenting our summer teen program at summer opprotunities fairs
- Learning how to use the new equipment
- Editing a BNN program called "Early Works" which is a compliation show of footage from recently trained producers

Hey Julie,
that's awesome to hear and read. Starting a VISTA year is always exciting. I'm doing it a second time and really loving it. I was just asked to join a virtual community of media policy reformists all working towards democratizing media structures to the best of their ability using the power of networks. Very cool for my first week of work.
In going through their database, NAMAC realized that CCTV is NOT a member. Surely I would have though y'all were!
We're kind of an 'organization of organizations' and throughout the next year I'll be looking out for 'stories from the field' of independent media practitioners and indy media centers. I look very forward to hearing more about your work with CCTV.
sweet,
