The CCTV Center for Media & Democracy is a nonprofit organization based in Burlington, Vermont. Founded in 1984, it works to advance free speech and local democracy by convening, recording, airing, sharing, and archiving community voices to encourage participation in political decision making. Its work centers on providing channels, tools, and training that enable residents to engage in public dialogue and decision making. CCTV operates programs such as Town Meeting TV, the Vermont Language Justice Project, the CCTV Archives, and the Neighborhood Media Internship, and it preserves archival video assets that document diverse ideas and local community history. Based in Burlington, the organization serves community members and local groups seeking to participate in governance, and in late 2025 it announced a leadership change with Matthew Gilson joining as Operations and Finance Director.
