I already knew how to use the camera equipment and was glad to learn how to edit video using reel to reel. I used the skills I gained to produce my own short movies, tv shows, and related content. The training I received was invaluable to my personal and professional development. Although I am no longer a supporter of public access (via cable channel) as this tends to be an archaic and limited (to your community) way to broadcast your message. I can defend the need for a "Community Media Center" that trains people and more importantly provides a face-to-face community to give people access to expertise and project help. I cannot however defend out dated modes of thought. As a young producer in the 1990's I couldn't wait to be freed from the grasp of "local tv." I started putting postage stamp sized videos online as soon as I could in about 1998. Ever since then I have fallen in love with Youtube, revver and other services.
