WMMT’s Community Correspondents Corps


WMMT’s Community Correspondents Corps (CCC) is a project that brings listeners and community members into the process of radio production. The CCC is founded upon a principle at the heart of Appalshop and WMMT’s work: that people have the right to control the development of their own communities through active participation in public dialogue and creative expression.
