Community media centers have the unique opportunity to demonstrate the importance of media influences, media literacy, and media activism while providing access to the tools and knowledge to engage in social and racial justice work.

As community media leaders, we need effective strategies for our organizations and the content that airs on our TV, radio, and podcast networks.

Produced by Arlington Community Media, Belmont Media Center, & CCTV Cambridge, we present "The ABC Democratic State Rep Debate" for the 24th Middlesex District between challenger Jen Fries & incumbent Dave Rogers.

Panelists from all three communities will be posing questions, including Belmont's Gilchrist Imboywa.

While BMC's main mission is to serve local information needs, new and inexpensive technology has made it possible for even a small community TV station to provide live international news programs in English. The BMC Board recently approved a plan to schedule a variety of live news coverage from around the world in order ot keep residents better informed during these unprecedented times.

Belmont Memorial Day programing includes a Memorial Day Procession and a short video by Winn Brook students. Tune in here:
