The Neighborhood Voices Network is back and In-person!

Public Media Network is launching its first in-person cohort of the Neighborhood Voices Network this September to put the news in your hands. If you are interested in journalism and want to use your voice to provide representation for your community, then the Neighborhood Voices Network may be for you!

Are you tired of the type of news stories you see about your community? Do you feel that important stories and voices are left out of mainstream media? Then take control of the narrative.

 

Public Media Network is launching its third cohort of the Neighborhood Voices Network this September to put control of the media in your hands. If you are interested in journalism, and want to use your voice to provide representation for your community, then the Neighborhood Voices Network might be for you.

 

Neighborhood Journalists will be given the training, platform, and tools to start  reporting on news in their community.  The Neighborhood Journalist Network, will showcase media coverage from a wide array of voices. More people, and more perspectives, means that news coverage will be more well-rounded, and lift up more voices in the community.

The upcoming September cohort will take place in-person at the Frederick Douglass Community Association, board room.
