Imagine Maui youth shooting, editing and uploading stories of the Maui community within minutes via broadband on mobile devices. Imagine stipends for youth to cover community organizations, issues and events. This is Project YBEAM at Akakū: Maui Community Television, supported by a recent grant from The Fred Baldwin Memorial Foundation.

Project YBEAM teaches 21st media skills to youth across Maui Nui, encouraging them to discover and share stories in their community. As one YBEAM participant said, “By becoming more aware of what’s around you, you can know exactly what you can and need to do to make a change for the betterment of the island.”

Project YBEAM’s innovative curriculum, developed by program director Kat Tracy, also teaches media literacy with exercises, games and information to show youth how to deconstruct media messages and create their own. YBEAM students practice critical thinking, basic journalism skills and ethics and learn how to recognize and tell their own compelling stories, using cutting-edge media technology.

Akakū is honored to receive a $5,000 grant from The Fred Baldwin Memorial Foundation in support of Project YBEAM. The Foundation has been serving the Maui Community since 1910, fulfilling the legacy of Emily Alexander Baldwin and Henry Perrine Baldwin, and honoring the memory of their son, Fred Baldwin. The Foundation supports programs and projects that benefit the people of Maui County, especially in the arts, education, environment, health, and human services.

The July, 2013 session of Akakū’s Project YBEAM is free of charge and open for applications now. Project YBEAM videos and applications are available at www.ybeam.mauitube.org, or call 808-283-7961 for more information.

Oceanic Time Warner Cable TV will be renewing itʻs 20 year franchises for the County of Maui and the Lahaina/West Maui franchise next year.  Itʻs time for the local organizations and the public to ask Oceanic what rent it will be paying us in exchange for you use of the public rights of way for the next 20 years. In the next two weeks, Akakū will hold information meetings with community members and organizational partners to discuss this important issue.

From wikipedia.org http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_television_franchise_fee

A cable television franchise fee in the United States stems from a community’s basic right to compensation a community receives in exchange for the cable operator’s occupation and the right-of-way use of public property. A franchise fee is not a tax; it is a rental charge.

Franchise fees are governed under Section 622 of the Cable Communications Act of 1984. Section 622, states that municipalities are entitled to a maximum of 5% of gross revenues derived from the operation of the cable system for the provision of cable services such as Public, educational, and government access (PEG) TV channels.
