Dublin Community Television fulfills its core mission by ‘providing affordable access to transmission, training, basic production equipment and facilities for a broad range of individuals, community groups and activists, and by broadcasting a wealth of innovative, creative, critical, educational, and entertaining programmes that focus on real people and communities in all their diversity from around the world’.
DCTV was cited earlier this week, in the Carnegie Trust’s report “Making Good Society”, as an example of an open membership co-operative whose mission is to ‘enhance diversity, empowerment and participation in media and in community development more widely … to serve, empower and promote Dublin communities, their activities and their right to be seen and heard’.
“Making Good Society”, is the final report of the Carnegie Trust’s Commission of Inquiry into the Future of Civil Society, and argues that civil society has been pushed to the margins in key areas including politics, finance and the media and that this must change. The report explores how civil society activity can help: grow a more civil economy; enable a rapid and just transition to a low carbon economy; democratise media ownership and content; and grow participatory and deliberative democracy.
The Commission hopes that the evidence and ideas provided in this report and the direction of travel it sets for a ‘good’ society will inspire individuals and organisations to act and invest in civil society activity.
