Why Altadena Needs Its Own Media Network?
Altadena is one of Southern California’s most culturally rich communities, yet its stories are rarely told by traditional media.
The Altadena Community Media Network was created to change that.
Born in the aftermath of the Eaton Fire, ACMN is building a community powered media platform where residents can share their voices, preserve local history, and shape the narrative of Altadena’s recovery and future.
As the region moves toward the 2028 Olympic Games, ACMN helps ensure that the authentic story of Altadena is documented by the people who live here, work here, and care deeply about what this community becomes next.
We are creating a media infrastructure designed to:
• Document the stories of Altadena residents
• Amplify voices often overlooked by traditional media
• Train youth in journalism, podcasting, and digital media
• Preserve community history through interviews and storytelling
• Connect residents to conversations, resources, and opportunities
This is more than media. It is community memory, public voice, and local ownership of the story.
