Weymouth Community Media Hub

Nestled on the golden shores of the Jurassic Coast, Zzipp Media—the creative force behind Weymouth Community TV Online—is excited to unveil its Community Media Hub: a dynamic gateway for locals to connect, share, create, and celebrate everything that makes Weymouth exceptional.

What is the Community Media Hub?

Imagine a welcoming, community-driven creative space where every voice matters. This “hub” empowers residents, community groups, and local businesses to produce multimedia content—stories, news, cultural showcases, event highlights—for broadcast on Weymouth Community TV Online, the highly regarded local YouTube channel run by Zzipp Media since 2009 .

Why it matters:

• Amplifying local voices. Everyone from keen gardeners to school sports teams, small-business owners to community campaigners can tell their story—no gatekeepers, just genuine people sharing genuine content.

• More than just video. Whether it’s filming local council meetings, poetry readings, drone footage along the coast, or community festivals, the Hub supports it all .

• Skill-building meets collaboration. Beginners get coaching; experienced volunteers mentor; everyone learns the ropes of filming, editing, and storytelling using accessible gear like drones, mics, and editing tools.

How it works:

1. Workshops & Mentorship – Zzipp Media delivers regular training, from basic camera tech to advanced editing.

2. Access to Resources – Hub users borrow equipment—cameras, mics, drones—and free workspace to create.

3. Community Scheduler – A content calendar ensures regular programming: weekly news roundups, live-streamed town hall meetings, event coverage.

4. Online Showcase – All content is shared on Weymouth Community TV Online’s YouTube channel, building a vibrant digital archive of local life .

What local people get:

• Connection. A shared media space where friendships form, ideas flow, and creativity thrives.

• Empowerment. A platform to be heard and seen, building confidence and local pride.

• Legacy. Content stays online to inspire future generations, preserving Weymouth’s evolving story.

Who’s it for?

Everybody. School pupils, retirees, community theatres, sports clubs, town councils, environmental groups, independent artisans—all welcome to participate and shine.

Join the vision.

Support the Hub as a creator, mentor, volunteer, or sponsor. Every contribution helps expand Weymouth’s voice—across screens and generations.
