A lifelong Cambridge resident, Shara Drew got involved with CCTV early in 2010. Shara has been providing CCTV with documentary films produced by The Media Education Foundation. “The Media Education Foundation produces and distributes documentary films and other educational resources to inspire critical reflection on the social, political, and cultural impact of American mass media.” Shara also runs Film Real a monthly screening of MEF films at the Cambridge Community Center. Shara strives to engage Cambridge residents and create a dialogue around the impact media has on our society.
Renato: Can you tell us a little about yourself?
Shara: Sure can! I grew up in Cambridge and later went to UMass Amherst where I majored in Communication. It was there that I became interested in and concerned about the effects of media on society. As an undergrad, I realized how crucial independent, critical media is to a healthy democracy. I also learned how our mainstream, advertiser-supported media is increasingly reflecting the interests and points of views of corporations and undermining our democracy.

CCTV's Mission Statement serves as a guide for everything that we do. When we consider new programs or new directions, they are first measured against the Mission Statement: does the proposal serve to further CCTV's mission, or is it a distraction?
The Mission Statement was born of a comprehensive process in 1998 that included the Board of Directors, Members Advisory Committee and CCTV members. After a great deal of discussion, John Donovan it boiled down to three succinct sentences:
Cambridge Community Television is a public forum for all Cambridge residents, businesses and organizations. CCTV provides training and access to telecommunications technology so that all may become active participants in electronic media. CCTV strives to involve the diverse population of Cambridge as producers & viewers, and to strengthen its efforts through collaborations with a wide variety of community institutions.
As CCTV looks to the future, we are taking a moment to look back - does the Mission Statement still capture the essence of CCTV's existence? Or does it need a little polish? What do you think? Please post your constructive comments here.
