🎙️ Building the Altadena Community Media Network

The Altadena Talks Foundation is continuing to expand the community media ecosystem that has grown out of the Altadena Talks Podcast.

Through the collaboration between Altadena Community Media Network (ACMN) and Disaster Voices Lab, we are building a platform where community members can document, share, and preserve the real stories of Altadena.

This initiative connects several projects and platforms working together:

• np.altadenatalks.org – The nonprofit foundation supporting community recovery, education, and media initiatives•

altadenatalks.com – The Altadena Talks podcast and community storytelling platform•

acmn.la – The Altadena Community Media Network, expanding local media production and training• disastervoiceslab.org – A storytelling and archival project focused on capturing lived experiences from disasters and recovery efforts

Together, these platforms form a community-powered media network focused on:

• Preserving the stories of Altadena residents

• Providing media training and storytelling opportunities

• Creating a permanent archive of community recovery and resilience

• Amplifying voices that are often overlooked in traditional media

Our goal is simple but powerful:

Document the moment. Preserve the history. Empower the community voice.

If you are a resident, community leader, artist, journalist, student, or storyteller, we invite you to participate.

This network belongs to the community.

Altadena has a story to tell — and we are building the infrastructure to make sure those stories are heard.
