Say hello to Melanie Morgan, she founded The New Media Collective (NMC), an online project promoting diversity and education within the media-making community for people of color. The NMC highlights bloggers, photobloggers, videologgers, and podcasters who are helping to break down barriers of entry and stereotypes.

Utilizing online outlets like videoblogging, podcasting, blogging, and photoblogging, we can represent ourselves honestly, accurately, and independently to the world at large without the distortions and half-truths of mainstream media.

Digital tools and technologies will enable us to find our voices, deliver our messages, and tell our stories. Not only will we create and control our own media, we will, in fact, become it.

That sound good to me!
