Interesting discussion by Leonard Lopate with Dan Gillmor and Dee Dee Halleck on the future and significance of public access TV, one of the early forms of community media facing some uncertainty in an age of easier publishing and broadcasting over the internet.
I tend to think that public access television production is becoming less relevant with so many video-sharing sites and cheap cameras. That said, one model for relevance seems to be what Cambridge Community Television is doing by providing instruction on all kinds of social media as well as more elaborate studio production.
