gmhTODAY and CMAP TV Host Leadership Gilroy for Media Day
Your favorite local magazine teamed up with CMAP TV to host Leadership Gilroy’ s 2025 Media Day in May. The full day of events day started with a panel discussion on the state of local media with representatives from San Jose Mercury News, Gilroy Dispatch, Morgan Hill Times, gmhTODAY and CMAP TV. Class members then participated in a critical communications workshop followed by a 30-minute power lunch.
The class was then led through a 3-hour tour of CMAP Studios. During the tour, CMAP Staff members facilitated hands-on learning in the areas of storytelling and script writing, in-studio and control room production, person-on-the-street interviews, and podcast production.
The building was buzzing as creativity and hidden talents shone through during the tour. Class members explored ideas and“ went live” on camera in the podcast room, conducted live interviews on-camera and behind the scenes, and operated
cameras and audio equipment while recording a live music performance in the studio. The tour was followed by an afternoon strategic planning workshop on the group’ s project. CMAP Staff presented a highlight reel of the day’ s activities as part of the debrief and wrap up. It was a full day of activity and learning for the Leadership class.
