What else should people know about your site?
[people. power. media]'s mission is to empower marginalized communities by creating media that amplifies their voices to inform the public and influence public policy.
[people. power. media] is a bold new approach to community-based journalism.
* We are change oriented.
* We feature community voices in video based storytelling, text and photo articles and Op-Eds.
* We maximize the power of online media.
* We are the go-to source for getting involved.
* We present our content to communities and legislators.
As a non-profit, online multimedia channel, we are unconstrained by ratings, profits and the traditional news cycle. We start with listening to community organizations and pursue stories that coincide with efforts to change public policy.
Health, immigration, housing, and poverty are issues of immediate concern and direct impact to marginalized communities. We focus our work on these issues and amplify the voices of marginalized people and the work of community-based organizations impacting public policy for positive change.
Our video features, text and photo stories and Op-Eds connect the first-hand experiences of people in marginalized communities to policy makers and the general public. By featuring community voices, our videos raise awareness of commonly neglected and undervalued perspectives. Our videos are viewed at peoplepowermedia.net and various community and issues-based websites. They are also presented in community gatherings and at legislative hearings.
Our content is enriched with a wealth of resources that guide people to action. Our website shows solutions sourced from community experts. We provide easy access for viewers to get involved and be active participants for changing public policy. The ways to get involved are updated and shared daily. Peoplepowermedia.net is the go-to source for community based perspectives and ways to impact public policy.
[people. power. media] fulfills the potential of new media to empower communities for positive change!
