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 from the aftermath of the Eaton Fire, ACMN is building a digital storytelling platform where residents can share their voices, preserve their history, and shape the narrative of a community rebuilding together.
As the world prepares to arrive for the 2028 Olympic Games, ACMN ensures the authentic story of Altadena is told by the people who live here.
