Center fellow Martin Lucas at Alliance for Community Media conference

Center fellow Martin Lucas presented a new video, "Making the Music You Want to Hear", at the annual gathering of cable access programmers, the Alliance for Community Media, in Boston. Along with Washington DC-based community development specialist Jessica Venegas and Brooklyn Cable Access TV Director of Education and Community Partnerships, Carlos Pareja, Lucas showed the 17-minute film showcasing three stories of successful public engagement with community media centers. Several stations requested copies of the video to air locally, and cable access' home-made distribution arm Digital Bicycle will offer a broadcast version to its network. Watch for a web version of the video coming in September on the Center website.
