Community Media in Transition

PEG Access TV and the Social Web

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Article

November 28th, 2007 by Colin Rhinesmith

In an article titled “Who needs public access TV?” by Adrian McCoy of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette the author writes

“Public access supporters argue that Web video isn’t really as democratic as it appears. Sure, anyone can do it — anyone with enough money for a video camera, high-speed Internet access and the right software. The truly democratic media is public access, they say, where the entire community can use camera and studio facilities for free.

Public access is also local, aimed at a specific community, while most Web video is not.”
