“Week in, week out, WTJU’s volunteers and staff use radio and podcasts to bring people together and nourish our community,” said Nathan Moore, WTJU General Manager. “While we do this work because of our passion for it, it’s also awesome to be recognized with these national awards.”
The Alliance for Community Media advocates and promotes media training and production, civic engagement and education in support of diverse community voices.
Each year, nearly 1,000 entries are submitted to ACM’s Hometown Media Awards program. Awards recognize community radio and public access TV programs that address community needs, develop diverse community involvement, and challenge conventional media formats.
