Linder examines the theoretical and philosophical under-pinnings as well as the nuts and bolts of public access television in the United States. She addresses the real problems faced by public access workers and advocates and offers solid recommendations for insuring the future of America's electronic soapbox.
An Excellent OverviewReviewed by Hans Klein, 2006-06-03
There is not much scholarship on public access television. Laura
Linder's book is one of the few, so I was especially happy to
discover that it is a piece of high-quality scholarship.
Linder surveys the many issues surrounding this complex
institution, including: the philosophical vision, the way stations
operate, their regulatory and funding frameworks, and their
history. It is full of citations, too, which is very helpful.
I recommend this book not only for scholars but also for
practitioners in the field who want a broad overview of the sector
in which they work.
