DEEP DISH TV TO DISSOLVE BY END OF 2018

Archives Preserved for Generations to Come

New York, NY, December, 2018 — The Board of Trustees of Deep Dish TV voted unanimously last May to dissolve the organization. The process is underway and should be completed by the end of the year.  

 
After much consideration and years of conversations with community members and producers, as well as board meetings that addressed the sustainability and viability of the organization, it was concluded that Deep Dish had not met the challenge of transitioning from public access TV to newer technologies.
 
Archival material in the print, film, and digital mediums have found permanent homes where it will be available to the public. The entire physical archive will be housed at Fales Library and Special Collections at NYU. The digital catalog and video hosting sites (Vimeo, YouTube, and Kanopy) will be inherited and maintained by Paper Tiger TV.
 
Thanks to the contributions of former staff members, producers, videographers, web designers, donors and others, the legacy of Deep Dish will continue to benefit present and future generations of community activists, journalists, media makers, students, and scholars.
