Jean Fix

Jean Fix was a Carroll County civic leader whose involvement with the Community Media Center of Carroll County placed her in the category of community members and board volunteers who make local access centers possible beyond their paid staff. Her work touched education, civil rights, and cultural organizations in Carroll County, Maryland, and her connection to the media center reflects the way community media systems have always depended on civic advocates who understand that public information and local storytelling matter to democratic life.

The Community Media Center of Carroll County serves Westminster and the surrounding region, and the board and volunteer leadership that Jean represented helps keep that station accountable to its community rather than to the interests of cable operators or government funders.

Her place in this archive is in the civic infrastructure of community media, the people who show up for board meetings, advocate for local access funding, and keep the mission grounded in the communities the stations were built to serve.
