FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

> "Local editor endorses calls for 'JCC-MAC' to produce community-based local cable television and internet programming for Jersey City"

> "Stan Daniels, the Editor of 'Intercity Sports Review - Online' (www.icasports.org), has endorsed calls by local media activists for more outlets for community based media productions. Citing the lack of a local broadcast outlet in the State's second largest city, the editor noted that that fact underscores the need for more community electronic media access. Further noting that the nonprofit, national "Alliance for Community Media" organization has designated March 19-25, 2000 as "Media Democracy Week" across the country, the editor endorses the calls to bring Jersey City community media into the Twenty-first Century."

> "The Proposed Proclamation recognizes the importance of Community Media" and the deficiencies evident in the present system since 1996.

> "Community media activists outline plan to create, preserve and nurture public electronic green space by helping people tell their stories, giving them the tools to do so, in order to allow Jersey City residents to tell their stories about the character and purposes of their community."
