The Community Media Committee of Monona, Wisconsin, convened on February 13, 2025, to discuss strategies for enhancing community engagement through local media. A significant focus of the meeting was the performance of video content shared on platforms like YouTube, particularly regarding high school events such as sporting activities and concerts, which consistently attract the highest viewership.

Committee members noted that while city council and plan commission meetings also receive attention, the popularity of high school events far surpasses other content. This observation led to discussions about potential outreach strategies to increase viewership and community involvement. Suggestions included placing QR codes on football and basketball programs, which would allow attendees to easily access video content of events. The idea of collaborating with the music department to promote concert recordings was also proposed, highlighting the potential for broader community engagement.

The committee emphasized the importance of keeping these initiatives in mind and encouraged members to share additional ideas for boosting viewership. The conversation underscored a collective commitment to enhancing the visibility of local events and fostering a stronger connection between the community and its media offerings.

As the meeting concluded, members were reminded to remain proactive in seeking opportunities to promote the Monona Go app and its content, ensuring that community members are informed and engaged with local happenings. The committee's ongoing efforts reflect a dedication to leveraging technology to strengthen community ties and enhance public participation in local governance and events.
