Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP) Survey

KACN and Partners Support Initiatives to Expand Broadband Internet Access Throughout Alaska

In the Internet Age, the ability to research, investigate and communicate has a direct effect on one’s ability to learn, work, compete, communicate, organize, and prosper.

Unfortunately, there is a huge disparity in Alaskan’s ability access to information and opportunity through the Internet. Recent studies claim 77% of Alaskan enjoy broadband (high-speed) Internet access. What isn’t mentioned is how entire communities in Alaska still have no Internet access, or access with speeds as much as 1,000 times slower than what is typically enjoyed in urban environments like Anchorage. This greatly impedes these rural Alaskan’s opportunities

You can help us bridge this gap in Alaska by taking five minutes to participate in the 2011 . Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP) Survey on Alaska Internet Access.

Media Literacy for Mobilization – National Conference for Media Reform, Boston, April 10 2011

Soon to air on KACN Television!

NCMR 2011 – Media Literacy for Mobilization

Media literacy extends beyond understanding how to use social media, cell phones, computers, Internet and media production. It includes the ability to create and utilize digital media to participate in civic life, and to have a solid understanding of the media policy issues that profoundly shape our lives and communities. It also requires us to rethink how we analyze, access and evaluate all forms of media, including the Internet, that provide us with information and entertainment and inundate us with new advertising and marketing strategies.

This session was filmed by Katy Parrish, General Manager, KACN Television, at the National Conference for Media Reform in Boston on April 10, provides the hands-on tools and resources needed for community members and media justice educators who want to integrate cell phone literacy, mobile broadband policy, Universal Service reforms, an open Internet and other media policy issues into a learning environment through teaching modules, multimedia and interactive workshops. The presenters will share their digital media toolkits and curricula, along with strategies and best practices for engaging communities in creating meaningful media change.

NCMR says “Thanks to Katy Parrish at KACN-TV Uniting Alaska for the footage.”

The first third of this clip shows a conversational interview with ? & ? (please remind us–the web poster does not know).

The second third shows a clip of Milo Matthews playing an Amazing (!) multilayered bass jam, in a solo gig in Spenard, Anchorage.

And the third portion shows Jan discussing her unique Batique style of art.
