Mission Statement
NOWCastSA's mission is to promote and facilitate an inclusive civic conversation by empowering neighbors to identify common issues and share information through education, training, community news, events and multimedia.
We connect communities by using the internet to reinvent local news.
Description
We provide data and context about local quality of life, including community health, food, water, the environment and public safety.
We gather and publish news and information about neighborhood developments, including governance, housing, schools, transportation, economic development and preservation.
We provide a forum to chronicle local culture, from musicians and artists, to history, traditions and celebrations.
We promote local civic engagement, by using live video streaming technology to create online forums for community conversations about quality of life, neighborhood news, culture, social justice, equality, human rights and government accountability and transparency.
We teach free classes and workshops on community journalism and how to use media technology.
