Montgomery Community Media Wins 6 Telly Awards
The awards annually recognize the best work created within television and across video, for all screens. This year, the Telly Awards received more than 12,000 entries from all 50 states and five continents.
The Telly Awards was founded in 1979 to honor excellence in local, regional and cable television commercials with non-broadcast video and television programming added soon after. With the rise of digital video (web series, VR, 360, etc.), the awards now also honor excellence in immersive and mixed reality, non-broadcast, series, and social video.

Black Artists in Montgomery County: Jonathan Jaeger
Jonathan Jaeger began painting full time five years ago after a career as a social worker. One day he realized he wanted more and needed to pursue his passion for painting. He describes his painting style as outside the norm. Jaeger grew up in a diverse adoptive family and he sees this influence in his art. Jaeger is bi-racial, half-black and half-white. As one of the only men of color in his high school, he felt as if he was walking a fence, balancing between the black culture and the white culture. As an artist, Jaeger says he does not need to pick between the two cultures. H, he can just be an artist.
