Online Publication Release

In 2008 and 2009, the MNN Youth Channel along with a team of academics and youth researchers worked together to design and implement a citywide Community Needs Assessment (CNA). The primary aim of the CNA was to render visible and to understand the media needs and interests of New York City youth as well as to collect feedback for the Youth Channel All-City project, an initiative to create a youth-dedicated cable network for New York City and beyond.
