County broadband survey : Equitable and affordable broadband access is a community media policy issue. Broadband adoption is slow in many areas of Yolo County and the county is taking action, embarking on a collaborative broadband planning study coordinated by Yolo LAFCo. The study aims to help determine Yolo County can best ensure that our businesses, residents, and community anchor institutions have access to affordable, high-quality and high-speed broadband services that will meet their long-term needs.
DMA is pleased to partner with the County and LAFCo to help get the word out about the survey. There’s one survey for residences, one for businesses, and the links are here: http://www.yolocounty.org/general-government/yolo-lafco/shared-services-initiative/yolo-broadband
Video Production internships: Davis Media Access (DMA) has a few openings for a three-month television production internship.
The internship is available to DJUSD students and provides hands-on experience and exposure to many aspects of community television production. The internship focuses on coverage of DJSUD sporting and performing arts events, as a component of DMA’s partnership with DJUSD Educational Access Television Channel 17.
I’m a connect-the-dots kind of gal, and I love nothing better than connecting people and resources. I’ve been kind of giddy this past month, juiced by the huge amount of community interaction taking place under this roof. Many dots have been connected!
Sixteen non-profits in Yolo County took part in PSA Day, and there’s a waiting list for next time. Eight will tip that waiting list; if interested, send email to info@davismedia.org. See the PSA Day collection.
Mother Falcon and Mariachi Puente made the walls shake and shimmy with their recorded performances in the DCTV studio. Tom Brousseau gave us soulful food for thought. Listen to musicians on Listening Lyrics. See the mariachi shoot here.
