Background:
MNN is renovating a historic El Barrio/East Harlem Firehouse building on East
104 Street, between Lexington and Third Avenues, to create a new satellite
location. The project will transform the 124-year-old historic landmark into a
state-of-art media center providing Manhattan residents - and young people in
particular - with full access to new communications technology.
We are looking for input from current MNN producers on building the new
facility. Two workshops will be aimed at better understanding how the
availability of the new MNN Firehouse Media Center facility will impact use of
MNN 59th Street facility as well as the type of equipment and facility space
producers would like to have available at the new facility.
Two other community workshops will seek input from the Firehouse
"neighbors" (i.e., the residents and community groups in El Barrio/East
Harlem and Eastside and Uptown communities). The Neighbors workshops will seek
out information about how residents and community groups might wish to use the
new Firehouse Media center to create media content for and about the community
as well as how the new Firehouse Media Center facility could become a community
gathering place in order to meet the broader community needs of the
neighborhood.
The workshops will be led by Sue Buske of The Buske Group, a nationally
recognized consulting firm in the Community Media and Public Access field,
hired to assist us in this process.
Dinner will be served at these workshops. Each person who attends the workshop
will have his or her name placed in a drawing for a FLIP VIDEO CAMERA!
