DoubleACS is proud to announce that we are launching a new citizen journalism program, You Be the Press. You Be the Press will have two components, a website, youbethepress.com and a 30-minute monthly television show aired on DoubleACS Channel 15. Both will consist entirely of community-produced journalism with citizens as the reporter, editor and writer. With You Be the Press you can report on stories and events that you think are important. You shape the news and bring exposure to topics you care about. You are the press!
On Youbethepress.com you will be able to post your written news articles, video news packages and audio. You will also be able to comment on the posts of other community journalists as well as post your article or news package direct to facebook, twitter and google plus.
The You Be the Press television show will consist of the best news packages from that month on youbethepress.com. For each monthly show we will pick a community journalist to be the anchor of the television newscast.
For the sixth year in a row, DoubleACS will be hosting Adventures in Television on July 18-22nd. This extremely popular week long television camp is offered through the Attleboro Recreation Department's summer program for youth ages 12-17. The journey into television will never make more of an impact on youth than when they have the opportunity to create it; create the content, create the excitement, create the magic.
The Production staff of DoubleACS is in the final stages of their first documentary "Thompson Chemical". The film gives an inside look at the people that were affected by the explosion that shook the City of Attleboro.
