The Community Communication Project is an attempt to find better ways for communities to interact, to share
information -- to communicate. Ideally, this would lead to the identification
or discovery of a model (a group of principles or structures) that could
scale to fit a particular size community (say, a campus or a neighborhood
or a city and so on). Imagine trying to solve a community problem and
being able to tie into the most appropriate, effective, and efficient
modes of communication you need: whether printed newsletters and flyers,
video and television, web and email, facilitated group meetings, radio
and telephone, personal contact, and so on.
Imagine developing a comprehensive, or unified, way for our communities
to communicate: to communify who we are, where
we are.
While there are several pieces already available and some already in
use, the puzzle still hasn't been pieced together into a comprehensive
picture. It is exactly that picture we seek. The slogan I return to again
and again is "Our community is content-rich, but distribution-poor." Share the wealth.
CommuniTV launched!
I've launched a new part of the Community Communication Project, concentrating on that slice of the communication pie called "Television and Video," finding a way to bridge that gap between actual people and how they can share with each other. The name of this effort is CommuniTV. In other words, community + TV = CommuniTV.
There are CommuniTV-oriented posts on the CommuniTV blog (predictably), as a way of consolidating information about community-oriented video in one location. And as other "slices of the pie" begin to be implemented (such as, say, public access to art, mediation, print, facilitation, web, community memory, and so on), I'll be sure to let you know.
