Community Media Platform- An Introduction
The Community Media Platform is one of the key projects run by Creative Vision. The idea is that members & associates of each branch will be encouraged to support the development of locally based media either through advertising/ sponsorship or practical support including advice in their particular area of expertise, help with fundraising efforts among other ideas. As to what the Media Platform will look like this will be down to the individuals and communities taking part but it is likely that most of them will contain a combination of written articles, blogs and online TV. Similar initiatives already established include the Edinburgh Reporter founded by the journalist & blogger Phyllis Stephen, TV Sheffield & Community TV Dublin. More information on the plans for Creative Vision's Media Platform will be released shortly.
