“VOICES” of Central Maine? Why “Voices” rather than “Voice”?

Filed Under All, Text

“VOICE of Central Maine” would suggest that we presume to speak for the people. This is not a good idea. Instead we propose to offer a means for the people to speak for themselves, directly and without the constraints inherent in commercial media and special interest entities. The difference is distinct and important. The title “VOICES of Central Maine” makes that point.

So this is the beginning of an on-line volunteer Community Access project offering a multi-media public voice to the residents of central Maine and environs. Organizations and individuals in central Maine communities have an opportunity to speak their minds, share their interests and concerns, and report on community events in the same way as they would do it over a community radio or television station. Temporary audio production space and help with basic technical resources is available.

Eventually, and hopefully, this project will grow to the point where it will best be served by a board of directors. If you are interested in being a founding member of Public Access Media, Voices of Central Maine, tell us about yourself in an email.

In any case, please take a few moments to leave a reply.

    Found your site via the KJ. I think this has a lot of potential. I would like to make one suggestion however…The photo used at the top of the page shows 3 “Do Not Enter” signs which sends a certain (not subliminal) message to our visitors and perhaps a more welcoming view could be used.
    That’s my two cents.
    I look forward to watching this site grow, it’s a great idea.
