Cambridge Community Television announces the availability of Cambridge Uncovered - the Calendar, a sixteen-month wall calendar of Cambridge notables in the nude. Photographed by award-winning Cambridge photographer Mark Ostow, the images are fun and provocative, providing an intimate view of noteworthy locals.
“Since 2005, approximately 2,000 copies of Cambridge Uncovered - the Calendar have been squirreled away in every nook and cranny at CCTV, awaiting the year when the dates would once again align. And now is the time!” said Susan Fleischmann, CCTV’s Executive Director. “Reusing these calendars is a green option, and they are still as relevant as they were in 2004 – you can have a wall hanging that is part fine-art, part utilitarian, uniquely Cantabrigian, and a guaranteed conversation starter, all for just $10.”
The 16 month calendar begins in September 2010 and runs through December 2011. Some of the notable residents featured include: writers Anne Bernays and Justin Kaplan; artists Mags Harries and Lajos Heder; peace activists Cathy Hoffman and Betty Burkes; 1369 staff members; Boston Latino Film Festival director Jose Barriga; dancer Rozann Kraus; CCTV staff, Pemberton...

With online media sources becoming entrenched in so many of our lives, traditional media platforms -- from the local paper to PEG access channels -- have often found themselves fighting to stay relevant. CCTV has certainly heard its share of these arguments too. Who needs public access when you have YouTube?
For an answer as to how public access centers can stay very relevant, Katie Donnelly, Associate Research Director at the Center for Social Media at American University, recently highlighted CCTV and our NeighborMedia citizen journalism program on her blog on PBS.org's MediaShift. She interviewed Colin Rhinesmith, CCTV's Community Media and Technology Manager on how and why the program works, plus how he measures impact. Check out the full article here!
