What’s YouTube if Not Public Access?
21 Feb 2007 in Citizen Media, Television by GarrickThis weekend, Dan Gillmor is doing a workshop on how to make public-access TV relevant. His thoughts echo those I wrote about in, “Add Cable Public Access to the Endangered Species List“. Namely, it’s an artifact of a time when publishing was hard and expensive for citizens to do.
My recommendation for cable companies to fulfill their community requirement: “offer bandwidth [to the community]. Lots and lots of it, with BitTorrent thrown in.”
Here’s some choice excerpts from Dan:
“In the meantime…help members of the community learn modern media production techniques.”
