“Because Facebook Suppresses Content” and Other Reasons Why Community Media Outlets are Still Important

The team at NineNorth just finished a video with the City of New Brighton, showcasing the COVID-19 Vaccine roll out. We covered how an individual can easily access vaccines in our community. The five minute video is complete with interviews with staff and officials, as well as patients receiving the injection, all shot with permission of course. We posted this video on our website and social media.
