Why Franklin.news?

Timely and accurate information is so important these days. Major shifts in the media landscape have challenged our normal news outlets so they stop printing, cut back coverage, or simply go out of business.

Franklin TV, Franklin Public Radio, and Franklin Matters are the three public service community oriented valid sources of information that come together under the Franklin.news umbrella.

The Franklin.news portal will deliver the 3 Public Education, and Government (PEG) TV stations, 3 corresponding YouTube channels, the low band FM radio broadcast, audio podcasts, and the news reporting on town and school meetings, and events.

You can sign up for the daily digital newsletter in a simple 2 step process, add your email address, respond when the confirmation email comes in, and you'll get the newsletter in your Inbox once a day. It leads off with the calendar of events and town meetings and closes with the combined TV and radio schedule for that day

In between are all the important items for that day, reporting on past meetings, agendas for future meetings, info on cultural events, etc. We provide the links to the Franklin TV/ YouTube videos, and the podcast audio shows from Franklin Public Radio.

Too busy to participate in town or school meetings, we understand that and provide a quick recap summarizing the key items of each session we cover. The summary also includes the video or audio (or both) as well as the agenda, docs released for that session, and my set of notes captured during the meetings we cover. While we can’t and don’t cover all the meetings (at least until that ‘clone’ thing starts working), the major meeting video and agendas are provided.

This is all part of our public service effort for Franklin but we can't do it alone. We can always use your help.

How can you help?

• If you use the information that you find here, please tell your friends and neighbors
• If you don't like something here, please let us know
• And if you have interest in reporting on meetings or events, please reach out. We’ll share and show you what and how we do what we do
