JANUARY 27, 2019, 11 YEARS LATER UNDER PATRICK GORDON ...
DO WE HAVE VIBRANT MEMBERSHIP WITH GORDON'S PITIFUL TWITTER AND FAILURE TO DO PROPER OUTREACH AND FACILITATION OF PROGRAMMING?
Nov 12, 2008
Access TV stations in surrounding communities
have executive directors and station managers who, generally, have been
involved in access television prior to their being hired. The situation
in Medford is so serious we needed someone totally immersed in the
world of community media.
To the editor:
Access TV stations in surrounding communities have executive directors and station managers who, generally, have been involved in access television prior to their being hired. The situation in Medford is so serious we needed someone totally immersed in the world of community media.
All due respect to Dawn Natalia’s respectable education, her qualifications were not a good match for the job description I am outlining here, what Medford really needed.
Medford’s TV3 has always existed outside of the usual access experience, none of the four managers — past and present — were well known in access circles when hired by Medford Community Cablevision, Inc.
It sounds wonderful on the surface that Dawn Natalia directed a film with the middle school kids, however, the true job description for a general manager of an access station is to reach out to the community and build membership for the station, then to teach those members how to make TV show, movies or whatever else the members decide they want to broadcast.
Ms. Natalia resigns leaving a tiny membership, many complaints that she has personally filed against community people and no record of being the peacemaker. The least she could do, I think, is face the judge at the second performance evaluation hearing on Nov. 15, 2008 and give the information requested by the judge: Ms. Natalia’s job description, her contract, the minutes to the TV3 meetings, what she did for outreach, how much money she was paid in bonuses, gas reimbursement and ATM card purchases.
That would be the fair thing to do for a community that has paid Dawn Natalia handsomely; a job that clearly added to her resume, which can be viewed online at DawnNatalia.com
(the website may be down; can't find it)
It is regrettable that the job description for station manager does not appear to be the job that Dawn Natalia performed and received compensation for. Medford needed a qualified community media expert focused on outreach, on facilitating programming and on building a better station. We got someone focused on being a film director. The needs of our community were in direct conflict with Dawn Natalia’s personal needs.
Attorney [David] Skerry is correct when he said it is Medford’s “loss,” though his intent was off the mark. Dawn Natalia’s resignation is, clearly, Medford’s gain. Let the healing process begin.
