"Trespassers are welcome" : acces and community television policy

Rennie, Elinor (author)

This article looks at the changing notion of access in communications policy. It compares the regime for community television access in Australia with new conceptions of access based on the notion of the information commons. Community television has been marginalised in broadcasting policy as it does not conform to the broadcasting regime of quid pro quo regulation whereby market stability is maintained in return for content requirements imposed uponthe commercial broadcasters. In the new media environment (in particular that of the narrowband Internet), access has begun to be conceived of as openness or "intercreativity," rather than as "access to" an otherwise controlled system. This article discusses how that change can contribute to the formation of new policy justifications for community broadcasting in the digital television environment. What is at stake is a shift from seeing community media as oppositional and marginal to new notions of community-based media that are empowering and generative in nature.

Abstract

Članek obravnava spremembe v razumevanju dostopa v komunikacijski politiki. Primerja režim dostopa do skupnostne televizije v Avstraliji z novimi pojmovanji dostopa, ki temeljijo na ideji informacijskega skupnega dobrega. Skupnostna televizija je bil v radiodifuzni politiki marginalizirana, ker se ni skladala z regulacijo "daj-dam", ki vzdržuje stabilnost trga v zameno za posebne zahteve glede vsebine, ki jih morajo izpolnjevati komercialne postaje.Z razvojem novih medijev, zlasti interneta, postaja dostop razumljen kot odprtost ali "interaktivnost" in ne več kot "dostop do" sicer nadzorovanega sistema. Članek obravnava vprašanje, kako lahko te spremembe prispevajo k oblikovanju novih utemeljitev za skupnostno radiotelevizijo v digitalnem televizijskem okolju. Poudarek je na odmiku od razumevanja skupnostnih medijev kot opozicijskih ali marginalnih k novim predstavam o skupnostnih medijih, ki usposabljajo in ustvarjajo.
