Mission Statement WHAT WE DO HOW WE DO IT
To accomplish our mission, we begin with providing affordable, high-end media and technology services. We follow up by offeringtraining and tools that enable everyone to represent their own voice in the media conversation.
History
In 2001, Tony Shawcross, Founder and ED of the Open Media Foundation, co-founded a non-commercial website called denverevolution. in order to promote independent arts and non-commercial community events overlooked by local media. In 2003, members of the denverevolution collective began producing videos for nonprofits as the denverevolution production group, borrowing resources from friends at KBDI (PBS 12), Free Speech TV (FSTV), and Denver Community Television (DCTV). FSTV provided the first editing station in an office donated by Little Voice Productions. In 2004 we significantly expanded our media and technology training services, formed the board of directors, and received 501(c)(3) nonprofit designation, incorporated as “Deproduction: The denverevolution Pro- duction Group.” With the closure of Denver Community Television in 2005, we submitted a proposal to re-launch Public Access TV in Denver under an entirely new model. Our unique approach leverages emerging web 2.0 tech- nologies and business models in a community media station that is truly powered by the community. The result, Denver Open Media (DOM) launched in 2006, as an independent brand that could be owned by the community. In 2008, Deproduction merged with Civic Pixel, the local web development firm who had built the DOM website and user-management software, and in 2009, the parent organization merged all efforts into the Open Media Founda- tion. Denver Open Media remains an independent, community-run project of the parent company.
