The Platforms We Build Together: Local Media and Creators in Jackson Heights NYC & beyond
Come join us at World’s Borough Bookshop for a conversation about the role of local media in Jackson Heights and across Queens. We’ll highlight community outlets like Epicenter NYC, Eat in Queens, Jackson Heights Insider and Los Herederes Radio, and explore why community-driven media matters.
We’ll share how neighbors have turned small starts into thriving platforms - from Adrian growing World’s Borough out of a TikTok channel to newsletters and podcasts created around kitchen tables.
Presented by Jonathan Baillie Strong, publisher of Jackson Heights Insider, with special guests (to be announced).
The evening will also feature an open mic call for creators - whether you run a podcast, newsletter, TikTok, Instagram page, or other platform, this is your chance to share what you’re building. Let’s celebrate local voices and grow a thriving media ecosystem together!
