She does NOT take a very good photograph...

IF THE MAYOR DOESN'T LIKE YOUR FREE SPEECH SHE WILL SEND A SICK AND UNBALANCED STALKER TO YOUR HOME TO TAKE PHOTOS OF YOU AT YOUR HOUSE AND HAVE THE VIOLENT CRAZED WOMAN PUT A BLOODY MEAT CLEAVER OVER YOUR HEAD IN A PHOTO

THAT'S MUCCINI-BURKE'S IDEA OF FREEDOM OF THE PRESS


Ask the Mayor
Will Medford Community Media allow campaign programming for the elections?
Yes! It is a central part of the Medford Community Media mission in the community to provide an open forum for free speech and a neutral political forum in order to educate and inform Medford residents about candidates and issues on the ballot.
Government Access - Comcast Channel 22 / Verizon Channel 43
Medford Community Media will produce and air “Candidate Statements” for the upcoming November election allowing for equal channel time for all candidates running for local office. After the Preliminary Election on Sept. 17, 2019, candidates eligible for the Nov. 5 election will receive a registered letter informing them of the availability to produce their Candidate Statement at Medford Community Media.
The scheduled times for production will be on a first-come, first-serve basis, and profiles will air on the Government Access Channel in alphabetical order based on last names. Candidates will be given up to 30 minutes of studio time with staff to produce a five-minute message, and the use of a teleprompter will be available.
Candidate Statements will air until the conclusion of the election on Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2019 at 8 p.m. allowing residents as much time as possible to make an informed vote.
In the event of any scheduled debates, Medford Community Media will cover the events and air the debates in their entirety on the Government Access Channel.
Public Access - Comcast Channel 3 / Verizon Channel 47
Medford Community Media strongly encourages residents and candidates to continue to produce their own political content for air on the Public Access Channel. Content can be created by anyone in the community and submitted for air on the Public Access Channel. Residents submitting content do not have to be a member of Medford Community Media to submit content.
The programming on the Public Access Channel is created and produced or sponsored by residents of Medford and is not produced by the staff of Medford Community Media.
The programming schedule for the Public Access Channel is done on a monthly basis, so all new programming must be submitted prior to the start of each month. Medford Community Media will stop airing any new election programming on the Public Access Channel as of Nov. 4 with the anticipation of new programming airing for the duration of the month of November that is not political in nature.
Medfordtv.org Video On Demand
Campaign programming created and aired on Medford Community Media will be hosted at medfordtv.org as is all content that airs on our channels. The Video On Demand content will remain available as long as space allows for it, including before, during and after the election unless otherwise requested to be taken down by the producer, as Medford Community Media does not own the content created by resident producers.
Any questions regarding election programming at Medford Community Media, please contact Station Manager Patrick Gordon at (781) 987-2307 or email pgordon@medford-ma.gov. https://medford.wickedlocal.com/news/20190830/mayors-corner-from-desk-of-mayor-stephanie-m-burke
