A Closer Look at BNN
Boston Neighborhood Network is more than a local TV outlet — it functions
as a community media center where Boston residents and organizations can
actively create and share their own programs. This is made possible through
structured training opportunities and access to professional production
resources that support community-led media creation.
A key strength of BNN lies in its education-driven approach. Through workshops and hands-on support, community members gain practical skills in video production, enabling a wide range of voices to participate in local media and contribute original programming.
BNN also serves as a platform for civic dialogue by offering live and discussion-based programming. These programs highlight neighborhood issues, local culture, and public interest topics that are often overlooked by mainstream broadcasters.
By combining media training, open community access, and locally focused content, BNN plays a distinctive role in connecting Boston’s neighborhoods through television and online distribution. Live streams and on-demand videos are available on its official website.
