So in yesterdays lectorial we looked at Community Media, and, by some strange coincidence, RMITV (a community broadcaster) got back to me and agreed to an interview with us. I think yesterday’s sessions gave me a new insight into community media and what makes it run. So, with this newfound knowledge, I’m going to go over the questions I have written for RMITV and ask some better developed ones to fit around RMITV being a community broadcaster.
Knowing that RMITV is mainly run by students so that they have opportunities to better their skills as filmmakers/actors/producers etc. I want to ask if the internet has changed this at all. Is student engagement in community broadcasting, especially at uni, still a big thing.
And maybe even about the future of community media generally? Will it survive against the big corps.
