media -- >> thank you. another question? >> my name is kathy, i came up here for the panel and am very appreciative of the work you are doing. what do you think of community media? public access channels? what is the role in the new media landscape? journalism academies in the hyper globalism journal, it is there and the advice for nonprofit working at the new media center? >> we can give that question to barry. maybe you can give her some advice? >> there are a lot of challenges in community media right now. i have been trying to get our local station to work with us to figure out how to work together to get things going in the community. one of the challenges right now that the media landscape has is that it has been remade for lot of the other stations. these folks that are doing educational government television right now are rooted in ratings in a lot of cases. anyone can be broadcaster and no one wants access to the channel anymore. really, we are just at the beginning of this. for example, i no longer have cable. i get all of my television of the web. that is not on the -- that is not an unusual situation. >> [unintelligible] first of all, back to

imagine if you were a spouse and could use social media to communicate and interact with others without leaving your home? my mother recently died at age 91. i found it interesting that in her case come up with some dementia and alzheimer's, the pharmacist became one of the most important care givers, because all the different medicines from the different specialists. imagine if the congestive heart failure patient with a home health provider and a support person from the family is able to have an immersive video conference, as though you were all in the same room. it is the cardiologists. if there is a problem with dementia or memory loss, the neurologist. the pharmacist. specialty nurses. maybe you have a rehabilitation therapy person. you are having a consulate in real time. how often does that ever happen when you go to the doctor's office? they do not all come in the room. it could be just three minutes of interaction of all those people together, hearing each other and hearing what everybody is observing about the patient in their care. in addition, having streamed to them ahead o

media. how have these problems facing the mainstream set affected the ethnic media community and the jobs for ethnic journalists? >> ethnic media has been tremendously affected by the drop in advertising. it is embedded in the audience that service. -- that it serves. as mainstream media went into retreat, it had to expand. more people are looking to it for information and news. the audience has grown by 16% over the past five years. it is in the same situation of having to do more with less. the remarkable fact, i think that journalists and news is about what can access. to access to each other. something that gives us a sense of where we are in society. debbiwe in the media had a veryd time keeping up with the changes in society. how you keep up with the changes of san francisco if you are just one outlet. if a woman that lives in an alley starts off of the city lights in columbus, 91 years old, her building is sold into a tenant conversion into will be evicted after six years and her 48-year-old son hangs himself because he cannot find an alternative place for her to live, that is on the f

[speaking spanish] >> i want to say a few things. the resource center in san francisco that has been key since the 1980's in helping out the central american community. this person has been a key element of that success. it's a strong organization. but i want to tell you a little bit more. she is a sister of mercy who believes in leadership, organizational growth and community development. she has been involved in

and usable so that it will be a better tool for us in the future. some new media, which we are working on building. facebook and twitter. attending community meetings to the extent we can engage the media, the newspapers, and television and community newspapers, and most importantly, prozac. is important to note that the outreach is really conducted by division but run through the public affairs office, which at this point is elton, who is over there, and myself, who has other tasks as well, so we need to amplify our efforts, and that is why our partner organizations are so important in this. quickly going to go through, as i said, out reached by division. the planning a capital division probably has our most refined outreach process, and part of that is because some of it is actually in the code for what is required for average, like the planning department, and dpw who do similar capital projects. obviously, this does not apply to every situation. there are exceptions to every rule, but essentially what happens is the project manager will host a conceptual design meeting. anywhere from three to six, depending on the complexity, the numbe

and quality media sharing, diversity, and -- sharing diverse and rarely heard youth perspectives or stories to audiences around the world. we promote lifelong learning, leadership among the youth in san francisco inner city communities. through our unique youth training program in media arts and digital video, youth participants develop education voice around community issues. gain technology skills and raise employibility while being involved in the community as being productive and new leaders. this is what i have been working on for the last maybe five or six years. this is our answer to community media. video, the video people here, i was there also in 1975. you guys may not remember me, but i was there when this nonprofit was being developed. but i dropped away from it. what i'm saying is for youth media to be put on the air and produce, it has to be produced with trainers from the community. from the community. bayback from my experience working with young people could not get into bayback because maybe they were -- they wasn't ready. to drop the grits and bacon for crapes and/or rang juice. like some of my -- and orange juice. like some of my people have done. that's the contradictions, not that it's not doin

and what do you know? they're not the disruptive, mind-bending threat we thought they'd be. sure, they're different. for example, they are more comfortable with media, communication and digital technology than any group of workers before them. but instead of fulfilling dire prophesies of shaking up the workforce, they've demonstrated an ability to energize organizations with their tech savvy, new ideas, and constant hunger for fresh challenges, the perfect set of attributes for a rapidly changing economy full of both peril and promise. at "black enterprise," we've harnessed this valuable human capital through our "be next" initiative, with huge benefits for our entire organization. the millennials are not an invading force set to change all we hold dear. they are the fresh troops we need to restore our confidence in our ability to spark new innovations and conquer new markets. if you're smart, no matter your age, you will engage and collaborate, not compete, with generation next. i'm alfred edmond, jr. >> we're going to need some of that invasion to turn around the economy. >> with the generation nearing the workforce unlike any generation in 70 years, at least.
