Access is part of the communications democracy movement
which is about: sharing not withholding, empowering not disenfranchising,
infusing the community with tools of technology.
The
goals is to educate and provide people with tools to use a modern
communications medium to meet their own communication needs, as
they define them.

Community Access TV Deep Dive Topics
CONSIDER
THIS:
Public access is seen as out-of-date, but one of the key things
about public access is that it isn't really just access -- it's
also education. Public engagement is at the heart of public access,
and proponents see it as a place where a local community can gather
to learn how to communicate and share ideas.
NORTH HAVEN COMMUNITY TV
As stewards of public funds, we
are obligated to look at the community need first and adopt solutions
second. It does not mean we cannot lead. It means that we MUST lead
through responsible decision-making processes. “TV will not die. Network television, free-to-air television will not die,” he said. “It will still be the most effective way of reaching the largest number of people in the shortest possible time at the lowest cost per thousand, but television will not have the dominance that it has had.” BUT "new media will grow in importance as a result of addressability and targeting."
