I'm excited to announce that the second year of our NeighborMedia program kicked off last week with an orientation here at CCTV. Participants gathered to learn more about citizen journalism and discuss the local issues and topics they wish to cover over the next year.

During the next few months, many participants will receive training at CCTV in the following four tracks: Video Production, New Media, BeLive, and Audio/Radio Journalism. Visit CCTV's course offerings online.

In the meantime, you can meet this year's group of NeighborMedia journalists on our website. Be sure to also check out our NeighborMedia group on Facebook!
