I’m beginning to focus on how early media coverage and films like “Wayne’s World” helped create a divide between those with direct experience (i.e., community media producers) and those with indirect experience (i.e., community media viewers) during the first 25 years of public access.

What I hope to learn from this project is how this divide is playing out today. More specifically, I hope to show how recent media coverage of YouTube has collided with a popular perception – held by community media viewers, not practitioners – of public access television.

My own experiences have led me to believe there is a mythology that pervades small time television stations and that their highest aspiration is to emulate the broadcasters.

It seems that the Youtube / Access discussion delves into a different mythology. Have you come to articulate what that is?
