Our Mission
The Peoples Channel is Chapel Hill’s nonprofit Community Media Center and Public Access Television Station. Our mission is to provide education and tools to local residents to produce and distribute, via cable television, their media productions on a first come, first serve, first Amendment basis. This is our 4th Annual Summer Youth
Media Camp and we’re more excited than ever!
We want to change the relationship of young adults from passive viewers of media to active agents in the media. The sessions will not only give young adults the technical and creative skills needed to produce a variety of media, but
it will also show the students how to look
at
media differently.
This program is for youth ages 12-17, and it will focus on the issues that spark the interest of local youth. Young adults rarely have an outlet to share their ideas, values and stories in the media.
The Peoples Channel wants to change that.
TPC wants to make sure that all interested youth are able to attend camp regardless of their economic level. If you would like to contribute to our scholarship fund, please fill out the bottom of the registration form.
All sessions are student driven, with the instructors acting as facilitators and technical trainers. In each session, students will work through the entire production process, from pre-planning to production to post-production. After taking a session, students will also be certified to use TPC’s facilities and equipment for any future projects they wish to produce. Each session’s final product will be premiered on The Peoples Channel, Time
Warner Cable channel 8 in Chapel Hill.
