Media Advisory Committee

Mission
The mission of the Media Advisory Committee is to develop and promote access to electronic communications media on behalf of the Town of Newbury. We serve to foster free speech, creative expression, and civic engagement and to give a voice to all. Currently media are developed for the government access television channel (provided and funded by contract with Comcast) and the Town web site.

The committee is responsible for:

• Implementation and oversight of the production of programming for the Channel.
• Making programming decisions in accordance with operating policies and in consultation with the Office of the Town Administrator.
• Reviewing any appeals regarding decisions made on program requests.
• Reviewing site content and making recommendations for additions and improvements.

Media Committee policies and procedures, subject to the approval of the Board of Selectmen, are published on the Newbury Town web site.

The Media Advisory Committee is appointed by the Board of Selectman.  One Selectman serves on the committee as a liaison to the Board.
