​Our Board of Directors has kicked off a strategic planning process, which will lead to the creation of a roadmap for the next few years. A lot is changing all around us, from technology, to our whole funding structure, and the development of new partnerships and collaborations. Laying out such a roadmap is a must, so that we can prioritize our goals and come up with a realistic plan to implement them. Stay tuned for more!  Also, we are recruiting candidates for the Board of Directors - Board members are elected each June at our Annual Meeting. This year, the Annual Meeting & Board Election takes place Tuesday, June 20th at 6PM. Do you know someone who would make a good candidate? The nominating process is open now - more information is here.

We're pleased to welcome Peter van Gorder to our staff. The newest member of the team, Peter comes to us with a wide range of skills and a varied background, including media production, software, & audio engineering. We're already putting a lot of his well-honed skills to use; like all of us here, he is already wearing a lot of hats!

Throughout the year, we provide "gavel-to-gavel" coverage of regular monthly meetings & special meetings of several local government bodies. We do this in the Towns of Ludlow, Plymouth, Cavendish, Andover, & Mount Holly. 

And then there's the annual Town Meetings, ahead of the annual Town Meeting Day in Vermont, which falls on the first Tuesday of March. We cover all 5 in the above-mentioned Towns - and 4 of them take place simultaneously on Monday night! 

We show a couple of the meetings live, and record the rest. All of them play in steady rotation as soon as they are done, and through Town Meeting Day.  This requires a lot of coordination & is quite resource-intensive..but we also enjoy our role in this important democratic institution!

Looking to pick up some extra work and have an interest in TV / video production and local / public media?  We are looking to hire a part-time Field Producer & Production Associate, a position that comes with room for growth for the right person. Production experience is definitely helpful, but even more important are excellent communication skills, critical thinking, & dependability. 

Deadline to apply has been extended to February 10th.
