Survey says: more than half don’t watch Franklin TV

Survey says: more than half don’t watch Franklin TV.


That factoid helps to explain why it seems some social media postings seem to come from folks who appeared to be surprised about a 'new' topic when it has usually been talked about in some circles, for some time.  Clearly, not a circle the poster had participated in.


We are best served when we can assess objective facts and issues with our own eyes and ears, and think for ourselves.  You can become part of the informed circle with one web portal and subscribe to one daily email.


Franklin TV, Franklin Public Radio, and Franklin Matters are working together to advance the greater good, bringing us together as a community so that our focus is not on what divides us, but what brings us together.


* Watch: the standard public, education & government (PEG) channels or our three PEG YouTube Channels.

Why Franklin.news? (audio)

FM #1331 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 1331 in the series. 


Why Franklin.news?


Timely and accurate information is so important these days. Major shifts in the media landscape have challenged our normal news outlets so they stop printing, cut back coverage, or simply go out of business.


Franklin TV, Franklin Public Radio, and Franklin Matters are the three public service community oriented valid sources of information that come together under the Franklin.news umbrella.


The Franklin.news portal will deliver the 3 Public Education, and Government (PEG) TV stations, 3 corresponding YouTube channels, the low band FM radio broadcast, audio podcasts, and the news reporting on town and school meetings, and events.


You can sign up for the daily digital newsletter in a simple 2 step process, add your email address, respond when the confirmation email comes in, and you'll get the newsletter in your Inbox once a day. It leads off with the calendar of events and town meetings and closes with the combined TV and radio schedule for that day


In between are all the important items for that day, reporting on past meetings, agendas for future meetings, info on cultural events, etc. We provide the links to the Franklin TV/ YouTube videos, and the podcast audio shows from Franklin Public Radio.


Too busy to participate in town or school meetings, we understand that and provide a quick recap summarizing the key items of each session we cover. The summary also includes the video or audio (or both) as well as the agenda, docs released for that session, and my set of notes captured during the meetings we cover. While we can’t and don’t cover all the meetings (at least until that ‘clone’ thing starts working), the major meeting video and agendas are provided.


This is all part of our public service effort for Franklin but we can't do it alone. We can always use your help.


How can you help?


  • If you use the information that you find here, please tell your friends and neighbors

  • If you don't like something here, please let us know

  • And if you have interest in reporting on meetings or events, please reach out. We’ll share and show you what and how we do what we do

Watch "Dear Franklin, (A Message from Franklin Educators)" on YouTube (video)

Dear Franklin,

As proud members of the Franklin Education Association, we are asking you to come out in support of our schools on June 11 and vote Yes for Franklin
 


This initiative is not just an investment in our schools - the override vote is an investment in our community's future.

If you are a family with children in school, a "Yes" vote will directly support your child’s education. The funds from this override will allow schools to:
  • Keep class sizes low
  • Continue to offer a variety of AP courses and electives
  • Bring back middle school extracurricular activities.
Just to name a few.

But research shows that supporting our schools is beneficial to everyone in town, not just families with children. Good schools are a cornerstone of a thriving community, leading to:
  • High property values as young families continue to see Franklin schools as the strongest schools in the area.
  • A safer, more engaged community.
  • A stronger local economy as well-educated graduates enter the workforce.

We are proud to be educators in this amazing town. 
 
We are all deeply committed to supporting this community every day. 
 
On June 11 we are asking for your support.  

We all want the best for Franklin. A vote for the tax override is a vote for a brighter future in Franklin. 

Thank you for your time and consideration. Please remember to vote YES on June 11.

Thank you.
