Get The Message! Publications and other Printed Media
Having the public be able to gain access through print media could be deemed as one guaranteed rights under the rights granted to us. The ability to voice one’s opinion and not be overshadowed by those around us giving the words much more power then anything else. To get one’s publication out there are many situations in which the artist him or herself will have to be the one who brings it to the next level. A clear and current example of such an event can be the New York Book Fair, an event in which artists book are being put out by publications, artists and booksellers. In these situations, the manner in which the people who are closely tied to each piece of text is the one who is promoting each work, gives a sense of accessibility to the viewer. The nature of books being a very personal thing in the sense that printed material is usually reserved for one person at a time gives it more of a emphasis on the importance of time and the relevance that it is having at that exact moment in which you are reading it. Due to most of it being self promoted it has an element of temporarily. Since it is having little back up to start off with there is no telling the duration os such a project.
Whilst talking in the realm of cable television, brand associations now coming into play. It is a well known fact that each network is promotion certain view points. If one is showing a show on FOX it tends that such a show will be aiming more towards the conservative side. While on the other hand there is NBC which could be considered more liberal. Having most networks fall into one of these two categories makes the notion of public access on cable television skewed. Having to overcome most of the labeling stigma in the world, the public access needs to at least when it comes to broadcasting on TV, take a side.
