Justin Andersen

Justin Andersen works as an educator and educational technology specialist connected to CSDtv, the media program serving Canyons School District in Utah, and received the ACM's Emerging Leader Award in 2023. His work sits on the education access side of PEG media, where school-based channels give students, families, educators, and communities a platform for sharing information, recognizing achievement, and building media skills within public education systems.

Education access has always been one of the three pillars of PEG, and practitioners like Justin who build and sustain those programs inside school districts keep that channel functional as a genuine community resource rather than a dormant license obligation.

The Emerging Leader Award recognized both his work in educational media and his place in the generation of practitioners who will carry community media forward as the field continues to evolve.
