I have the feeling that public access tv has failed because it requires longer content. That leaves out the regular joe who don't have time to produce a weekly 30 minute show. I only have limited experience with public access of course (a 5 month stay at CTN in Ann Arbor), but it seemed that the 'public' wasn't represented very well. It was mostly representatives from the local churches who videotaped sermons (a very easy way to create a 60 minute show). That why videoblogging - in my opinion - has an advantage over the tv. Shorter forms (ie. shorter than 30 minutes) work better, and thus more people can be involved. > before the Internet the only short form films one might > see on a regular basis was television commercials.

You can say a lot about them, but they're really good for figuring out how much you can leave *out* of a video and still have a perfectly coherent story. - Andreas -- <URL: http://www.solitude.dk/ > Commentary on media, communication, culture and technology.
