MCIN changes its name to People's Voice Media

As of April 2nd 2009 MCIN rebranded to People’s Voice Media which is a innovative not for profit social enterprise and charity, based in Manchester that works in local communities across the North West. We believe in the power of social media to get communities talking to each other, to spread news, and to give everyone a voice and a platform from which to use that voice. We offer a range of services that offer a complete package of media development opportunities, primarily to people living in excluded communities.

People’s Voice Media:

• Run ground breaking Community Reporters programmes with a huge range of participants. Embedding people in their local community with the skills to communicate what’s going on where they live.
• Set up and run Social Media Centres, open and accessible community hubs where we run our programmes.
• Maintain a People’s Voice Media distribution network for community news and information including the MyManchester network of websites.
• Experiment and innovate new ways of using social media to empower communities, using the latest, human-scale technologies. For us it’s about giving local people tools they can use rather than complicated gadgets that break.
