Last week, Mayor Eric Adams joined a coterie of dignitaries for the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the new MNN (C) state-of-the-art production and education facilities in Midtown West/Hudson Yards.
“We must lift up all of our public access channels because you’re going to tell the truth the way it is,” Adams said. “You’re not going to be using creative journalism to try to find a way to distort the views and opinions and the realities that we are facing. The power of where we go lies in public media.”
Participants agreed that the mayor’s comments were important and that an “antidote to toxic social media and corporate media distortion is public access and public media.”
