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.
