What Is Community Media?

Community media is an outlet for diverse voices, local narratives, and content driven by the community, with a focus on free speech, civic involvement, and local information sharing among community members.

How to Produce Community Media with GNAT-TV

There are a few ways to get involved as a community producer at GNAT-TV. Community members can produce their own show—with their own crew, or using GNAT-TV’s professional videographers and editors—or host an episode of an existing GNAT-TV show like CitCom or Potluck Kitchen.

CitCom

CitCom is dedicated to encouraging individuals from our community to share their perspectives on a variety of topics. Have something you want to discuss with your community?
