Community media votes

Community Media Votes is the election campaign that sees community broadcasting demand the major political parties acknowledge its valuable contribution to media diversity.
Community Media Votes is based on Vision 2015, a five-year plan to develop the sector with increased funding for content, infrastructure, training and co-ordination for community involvement.

The national representative bodies of community broadcasting are asking the major political parties to:
· Adopt a community broadcasting policy that reflects Vision 2015
· Release the policy prior to the Federal Election on 21 August
· Provide fully funded commitments to support the policy.

 

The national representative bodies of community broadcasting are: Community Broadcasting Association of Australia, National Ethnic & Multicultural Broadcasters’ Council, Australian Indigenous Communications Association, RPH Australia, Australian Community Television Alliance and Christian Media Australia.
