A Future for Public Access?.This book examines the reasons behind the declining fortunes of public access channels. Public access, which provided perhaps the boldest experiment in popular media democracy, is in steep decline. While some have argued it is technologically outmoded, Caterino argues that the real reason lies with the rise of a neo-liberal media regime. This regime creates a climate in which we can understand these changes. This book considers the role of neo-liberalism in transforming notions of public obligations and regulation of media that have impacted non-profit media, specifically public access. Neo-liberalism has tried to eliminate public forums and public discourse and weakens institutions of civil society. Though social media is often championed as an arena of communicative freedom, Caterino argues that neo-liberalism has created a colonized social media environment that severely limits popular democracy.Mass mediaPolitical aspectsCommunicationCultural policyAdvertising media planningMedia Policy and PoliticsMedia and CommunicationCultural Policy and PoliticsMedia PlanningMass mediaPolitical aspects.Communication.Cultural policy.Advertising media planning.Media Policy and Politics.Media and Communication.Cultural Policy and Politics.Media Planning.384.550973658Caterino Brianauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut788860MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910484779303321The Decline of Public Access and Neo-Liberal Media Regimes2141768UNINA
