Come celebrate the 2nd Annual Community Media Day & Open House with Somerville Media Center – SMC.
Somerville Media Center joins other community media centers across the country for the newly sanctioned free speech holiday called “Community Media Day.”
Last year the City of Somerville passed a resolution acknowledging and proclaiming October 20th as Community Media Day! A special thank you to our Aldermen for supporting the work we do!
We are happy to add more community partners to this celebration: Boston Institute for Nonprofit Journalism, Scout Somerville, Somerville Public Library (MA), Somerville Arts Council and Somerville Journal. This is a great chance to meet the newsroom staff behind some of your local media.
On this day SMC, will open up our space from 3pm until 7pm, offering many fun-filled activities for the general public to learn more about Somerville’s premiere media center. We’ll have an outdoor pop-up radio booth, a Somerville Neighborhood News Info session, green screen PSA recordings and more! Please come on by to say hello and share why you support free speech!
