Dallas iMedia
Lisa Hembry
Yesterday at City Council, several citizens spoke on the need for funding for Dallas iMedia. Dallas iMedia is the new name for Dallas Community Television (DCTV). I got the chance to sit next to and talk with Lisa Hembry, the President & CEO for Dallas iMedia Network. As you know, Ms. Hembry has been the President for since March and previously served as Dallas County Treasurer.
Ms. Hembry said that Dallas iMedia has big plans to reach even further into the community and provide new shows and outlets for the citizens of Dallas. They are now located inside of the Dallas Library's Downtown branch.
You can tell that the the enthusiasm and vision that Ms. Hembry has for Dallas iMedia is truly genuine and an inspiration to other people that work at the network. She also has more plans to use the internet as a way to provide access to the network to citizens without cable.
Funding for Dallas iMedia was cut out of the proposed City Budget. However, in today's session multiple City Council members spoke in favor of restoring funding and finding a way to support this great institution.
Every great city has a strong community-based TV station and those stations are supported by all local branches of government. Dallas should be no different.

"Kokomo" was the Beach Boys' first hit in 20 years and ended up being their biggest selling single. Paul McCartney once said that "God Only Knows" was the most beautiful pop song ever written.

It's definitely important that Dallas support community video, especially as technology makes the tools more accessible to all.
We're looking forward to working with iMedia to help empower anyone in the area to create and share video on things about which they are passionate.
