Welcome to MassAccess
..............................................................................................................
We are a statewide organization that is a chapter of the Alliance for Community Media, an international organization, that educates the general public and MassAccess members about public access and community media throughout the world.
Started in 1990 as the Massachusetts Chapter for the Alliance for Community Media, MassAccess has been instrumental in linking access centers and individuals involved in access for the past decade.
Our mission is to educate the general public about community television and to serve the needs of Massachusetts communities in developing non-profit/non-commercial community media centers for P.E.G. access.
