Pixelate in Hattersley - The End

To mark the end of Pixelate phase one, Let's Go Global have produced a report which you can download by clicking the link below and HMCM have also produced a short end of project report that can also be accessed below.

Everyone at HMCM wishes LGG and the other communities, who will have the chance to repeat the successes of phase one, all the very best for phase two and you can be sure we will be keeping a close eye on the next round of cutting edge developments in community content.

‘On Hattersley’, the internet TV news show produced by Hattersley & Mottram Community Media’s volunteers earlier in the year, is now available on DVD and there is a free copy available for everyone who took part.

All the volunteers involved in producing the show have been given a copy and we have managed to get copies to some of the people who were interviewed but we know we haven’t made contact with everyone.

The Pixelate project intends to increase the creation of new media content in Greater Manchester, through supporting projects in Salford, Rochdale, Wigan and, of course, Tameside.

Hattersley & Mottram Community Media was chosen as the Tameside project, after submitting a proposal to develop the work already taking place through the Community News. HMCM will produce a series of online news broadcasts on local issues and features, chosen by the people who live in Hattersley.

A group of residents, interested in getting involved in the different aspects of producing the broadcast, went down to Lets Go Global for the project launch in July.
