Empowering Maine's Voices Through P.E.G. Media
The mission of the Maine Community Media Association (MCMA) is to advance democratic ideals by ensuring that people in Maine have access to electronic media. In order for democracy to flourish, people must be active participants in their government, educated to think critically, and free to express themselves. The sustainability of public access stations is a key element in local communication infrastructures, and a critical element to freedom of speech.
A Voice for Every Citizen
Our Vision
MCMA is a state-wide organization created to support the efforts of community media in Maine. The membership represents a variety of existing community television organizations, independent producers, municipalities and community members throughout the state.
Our Impact
MCMA’s goal is to ensure community media remains accessible to the public in all its incarnations from local cable television stations and Internet-based distribution channels, to whatever the next generations create as platforms where media resides.
