Let's Get It Started!
Welcome to The New Media Collective.
The purpose of this site is to serve as a virtual home for The NMC and as a source of information and community for those who come here. Check out the ABOUT section to get an overview of what the project is and what we'll be doing.
As we go along, I'll be posting information about new media, particularly in the areas of videoblogging, podcasting, blogging, and photoblogging, and the roles people of color are playing in it. You'll find out who's who, what's what, where to find people, and most importantly, you'll see our faces.
I truly believe that when individuals have access to what they need all things are possible. Therefore, NMC's primary goal is to teach and promote citizen media, and bring it to those who would not otherwise have knowledge of, or access to it. As a people, and as a community, we've been behind the technology curve for far too long. We need to know and understand what digital media is, and how to use it to tell our own stories in our own ways.
Once again, welcome. And while you're here, please add your videoblog, podcast, blog, or photoblog to The NMC DIRECTORY. Also, check out the RESOURCES page for a list of media-related sites.
Thanks for stopping by and checking us out. Please come back and participate. It'll be up to all of us to keep this thing going, so if you'd like to contribute content (articles, media, site links), please send me an email.
Remember: It's a WE thing!
Peace & Love
