What an honour this has been! I cannot recommend this episode enough. In an era of endlessly hearing people yelling "fake news", and people trusting source-less posts on social media over journalists, it's refreshing to hear from a legend who helped shape the industry on how it is actually done, why we should (generally) trust the news, and why there are so many challenges nowadays when it comes to finding out what's actually the truth. This is a stellar episode, and I highly, highly recommend checking it out, especially if you (like so many of us, myself included!) have fallen into the "can I actually trust this news source?" cycle before. There are bad apples, and there are sites that have very obvious biases... but there are so, so many more organizations doing their best to be impartial and factual, and we can't forget that. Incredible work, team!

📢 Debate: The Future of the BBC Licence Fee The recent announcement of the increase in the BBC licence fee has reignited a crucial debate: Should the licence fee be scrapped, or is it essential for preserving what many consider a global jewel – a unique public service broadcaster? On one hand, the licence fee is seen as a cornerstone of the BBC's ability to produce unbiased, high-quality content, free from commercial pressures. It's a model that has set the BBC apart on the global stage, fostering a reputation for excellence in journalism, entertainment, and education. On the other hand, in an era of streaming services and evolving media consumption habits, some argue that the licence fee is outdated. They contend that it imposes an unfair burden on viewers, especially in challenging economic times. What's your take? Is the licence fee an outdated concept in our rapidly changing media landscape, or is it a necessary tool to maintain the integrity and quality of one of the world's most renowned broadcasters? Let’s discuss the implications, alternatives, and the future of public service broadcasting in the context of today's media environment. #BBC #LicenceFee #PublicBroadcasting #MediaDebate #jgtvdirector

In our youth media program #TeentigerTV (formerly Team Hercules Youth, Roar1st) at WPAA-TV and Community Media Center, young people ages 15 to 21 explore media skills from news literacy to producing, shooting, and editing video. But our goals are broader. We aim to enable the discovery of self and community. As such, we attempt to support the develop of their creative and critical voices in a collaborative environment. Success is media products with layers of moving with images: literally & figuratively. Ben Negron's first video produced in the summer of 2021, 'When I Speak Freely' uses his 'Place Yourself in History' Project image, his interest and skill in rap music and lessons learned from reading the introduction to Dare to Speak by Suzanne Nossel of PEN America to express challenges he encounters expressing himself and communication with others. The video is simple but the message is next level. Check out this excerpt and then try to convince me that community media is not relevant. Our existence is our relevance.

Alex Mahon returning in some ways to where it all started (with a speech and then the current job) Royal Television Society Channel 4 continues to be a unique and hugely important part of the UK media ecology and due to its unique set up also to the global media ecology - allowing indies to retain international rights, giving them a first window showcase, occasionally investing in them, publicly owned and commercially funded and set up from the get go to serve “minorities” more effectively - always been a creative risk taker, set up to be so, set up to find new talent and give it a window, set up to support minority owned businesses - what’s not to like? Except do more of the same, do it better, have more impact, more of the same. Never more important than today to have diverse voices, diverse points of view, diverse owners, diverse executives. Channel 4 (and Alex Mahon ) does a great job. Can we all do better? Sure we can. IAXA Global #StoriesthatShouldbeToldVoicesthatNeedtobeHeard
