NewTV
About
NewTV is an Emmy Award-winning nonprofit community media center in Newton, just outside Boston, specializing in media production, training and content distribution. It runs three cable channels, Public/Community, Education and Government, that give Newton residents local news, live coverage of city meetings and a platform for diverse community voices. Member-produced shows cover arts, education, politics and current events from Newton residents’ own perspectives.
Since 1992, NewTV has offered media production classes and workshops in its studio facilities. Its flagship program, Newton News, hosted and produced by news director Jenn Adams, has covered the city and local government for more than 30 years. Adams received the 2025 Alliance for Community Media Brian Wilson Mentorship Award, and over 100 of her former interns have built careers in broadcast media and journalism.
