Why Community Media?
Whether it is local journalism, storytelling, live events, music discovery, or the exploration of cultural nuance and meaning, NFCB member broadcasters provide a nexus where community life and civic life meet and interact at the local level. Local community media is people powered and it helps communities thrive.
