I hope the work of such a center would be focused on recently proposed
legislation that is currently threatening Public Access Commmunity
media centers across this country ? Visit the Alliance for Community
Media to find out more about public access centers. Much of the work of
a public access center is a focus on citizenen produced telelvision
including community news and information ( community journalism ). The
mission of most public access telelvision/community media centers are to
encourage citizen use of their facilities to produce and present
programming over cable, fiber, wireless or technology yet to be
invented. They've been doing that for decades and have been currently
merging into the tapeless digital world.

coming_soon_center_for_citizen_media>
Starting in 2006, I'll be putting together a nonprofit Center for
Citizen Media. The goals are to study, encourage and help enable the
emergent grassroots media sphere, with a major focus on citizen
journalism.
I'm thrilled and honored that the center will be affiliated with two
superb universities in a bi-coastal partnership.
* Here on the Pacific Rim, where I live, the center will
collaborate with the University of California, Berkeley's Graduate
School of Journalism. As an I.F. Stone Teaching Fellow, I'll do a class
next fall, and my principal physical office will be at Berkeley as
well.
* Our Atlantic-facing partner is the Berkman Center for Internet &
Society at Harvard University Law School, where I'll be a Research
Fellow. I'll visit there regularly -- at least once a month -- to work
with other fellows, faculty and students.
