Producer News
QPTV Launches New Blog for Producers
Queens Public Television (QPTV) is happy to announce the launch of its Community Blog. Unlike QPTV's long established website, the community blog is a place where producers can interact with one another in a moderated forum.
We hope that you will use this forum to communicate with other QPTV Certified Producers, share your thoughts about community media, seek out crew for your next production or offer to crew for someone else. Perhaps you have photos from your last production, send them to us and we'll be happy to post them.
We do ask that you observe the same sense of decorum on the site as you would observe at our facility; rudeness, disrespect or inappropriate language will not be tolerated.
If you have any questions please contact me.
