This week I was finally able to get to the business of reaching out to our participants in the Digital Divide project and offering some new opportunities for further training. With all of the necessary preliminary work done and a better awareness about how things work here at CCTV I was able to implement everything in the form of direct contact with those we are hoping to help. I left many messages, got a few call backs, and ended up talking to a handful of people one-on-one. Most seemed very enthusiastic, and there were a few that asked to view the upcoming schedule. The most common concern, of course, was having the time to devote to such an endeavor. Hopefully they will be able to find time in their schedules to come and learn more about media-making as a next step towards producing their own media. This coupled with a few more meetings with staff members, where I learned about issues like contracting with cable companies and legislation from the FCC, has given me a greater sense of understanding about the world of community television as well as an opportunity to connect with the community that we serve.
