Public Access: Fortifying The Electronic Soapbox, Jason Roberts
Federal Communications Law Journal
Public access, viewed as the voice on cable for those outside the mainstream, has recently been criticized as nothing more than an unregulated channel for objectionable hate speech and indecent programming.
