WHO WE ARE

Our Mission

Ensuring access to media-making technology, empowering them to amplify their voices, share their stories, foster media literacy, and cultivate new skills.

What We Do

Wareham Media is an integrated community media hub for Wareham and the surrounding areas. Wareham Media facilitates diverse community dialogue and incubates and funds local storytelling, arts, journalism, media literacy, and technology projects. This includes live streaming and serving youth and adults through innovative classes and partnerships.

Wareham Media offers extensive multimedia training, access to high-quality equipment, cohort programs, and partnerships. We provide low-cost professional media services to nonprofit organizations, education partners, businesses plus access to local government coverage.

Coverage

Wareham Media is dedicated to comprehensive video coverage of local events, including government meetings, youth sports, election forums, arts, and more. We aim to make these events accessible to Wareham citizens on television and online.

To request event coverage, please use this form, ensuring it’s non-commercial and submitted at least three weeks in advance. While we aim to accommodate requests, we can’t guarantee coverage for all events. If we can’t cover your event, consider becoming a Wareham Media member, where you can take brief camera training, rent our equipment, and cover the event yourself.

We receive funding from a variety of sources including franchise fees from Comcast cable, Verizon, government contracts, grants, sponsorships, membership fees, and donations from community members.
