Member of the PCM Board

Posted on September 14, 2009

Description:

There is an opening on the Portland Community Media Board of Directors that I would like to apply for. The stated mission of Portland Community Media is "to promote broad participation in civic and cultural life by encouraging effective use and understanding of community media." I would like to work to encourage PCM to more fully embrace the internet as a distribution model. I feel my experiences with Urban Honking and Ultimate Blogger put me in a unique position to not only encourage the use of the internet but also to create a bridge between the amazing facilities of PCM and the wide range of creative young people who have an ambivalent attitude about "cable access."

In addition to applying to be a member of the board I will also take the classes to become a PCM Producer with the goal of creating the next UrHo Talks with the tools provided by PCM.
