CCTV Celebrates Community Media Day!
October 20th is Community Media Day (CMD), a celebration of free speech, local storytelling, and the power of community voices!

In honor of CMD, a few of our dedicated Community Producers shared why community media matters to them. I encourage you to check it out.
