About this hub
Holyoke Media is an independent nonprofit multimedia organization serving Holyoke, Massachusetts, a small city on the Connecticut River in Hampden County that was once one of the most industrialized cities in New England and is now home to one of the largest Puerto Rican communities in the country.
Operating from One Court Plaza in downtown Holyoke, Holyoke Media provides local journalism, educational courses in media production and literacy, community programming on cable channel 15, and support for civic dialogue and access to local government. The organization describes itself as representing "the next generation of PEG Access," delivering content via internet, cable TV, and live studio productions, and is committed to serving a bilingual community with programming that reflects both English and Spanish-speaking residents.
Holyoke residents - in a city navigating both the legacy of deindustrialization and the energy of a deeply rooted Latino community - rely on Holyoke Media for the government coverage, local journalism, and community programming that commercial media in the Pioneer Valley rarely provides for a city of Holyoke's size and complexity.
